[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your degree of cleanliness will never be equal to that of someone else. If you are that concerned with tydiness just hire a good cleaning service once a week. I am a sitter and pretty clean at my home. I wouldn't clean your walls and such if I am working for you. Just teach your kids to be less messy, shouldn't be the sitters responsibility or concern. You are with them majority of time. [/quote]

I would live to teach my 1- and 2-yo kids to eat without making a mess.  Can you share your techniques?[/quote]

New pp.  I fed them myself or gave them small bites.  I never had a mess on floor.  So many if you go out of your way to make your life hard.[/quote]

OP here.  How did they learn to feed themselves?  At what age did you let them try to use a spoon?  I help them but my kids have their own spoons and forks and like to self-feed.  I only give them a few bites at a time, but even a tablespoon of something like yogurt can splatter.  [/quote]

Is there a reason that you are giving them things that splatter?  Why aren't you teaching self-feeding with fairly clean foods first?  I'm all for kids learning to feed themselves, even before 1, but it's age-appropriate.  If they aren't capable of putting a spoon with soft peas in their mouth without having peas go anywhere, they don't have yogurt in a bowl (I'm a huge fan of making messy foods into drinks at that age).[/quote]
