[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would lay out specifics at the start. And from our experience ask for daily unloading of the dishwasher. Doesn’t sound like an issue at first but I ran into the situation where our nanny was loading all her dishes she would use during the day for herself, the baby dishes, and bottles daily. I would come home to a full dirty dishwasher and would have to then run it and Empty it , which lead to me having to be running/ emptying  multiple extra loads. I felt like I was actually doing her dishes. So we had to ask for her to empty the dishwasher moving forward even if it contained our dinner dishes etc[/quote]

So you won’t do the nanny dishes, but you expect her to do yours? What an entitled employer.[/quote]

I can't believe at Starbucks, the barista has to make my coffee but I don't make coffee for him. What an entitled customer I am...
The nanny is paid to do a job. It is up to parent + nanny to define what that job entails and set mutual expectations. Unloading dishes doesn't seem like a big stretch from child-related duties -- in my house 50-75% of those dishes are due to kids' food, and trying to split hairs on whether the nanny only unloads the specific dishes related to kids/herself seems like the kind of nitpickiness that would take you down a bad path relationship-wise.[/quote]
