Look at the whole picture.
Is the family great? Are they paying good? Do you get benefits? If it’s a really great family good pay good benefits vacation time
Do you really care about putting that extra dish into the dishwasher? 
It’s so hard to find great families
And sorry but unloading the dishwasher should be a Nanny’s job, and I’ve been doing this since day one. So if you run the dishwasher with 10 kids dishes and 20 parents, you only empty the 10 kids dishes? You guys are ridiculous! 
It takes 5 min to unload the fish washer
Lol I’d like to see my boss face when I leave their dishes in 
Yes leaving dirty dishes for you to wash is definitely not fair, the only way to overcome is to ask them nicely to put them away themselves, if you won’t ask, they won’t do it and you’ll resent them very fast and there goes your job [/quote]

You are neither a well paid nanny or professional nanny. You have to take what you can get and are worried about losing your job. If you were better and had better offers you could relate to other nannies. Thank you for taking the crappy jobs so they don’t waste their time contacting good nannies. [/quote] [b]The PP poster sounds exactly like a professional nanny. Also mature and broad thinking.[/b] If you work for a sucky family and resent every little extra you need to find a better family. However like myself and the PP if you have an employer who treats you well (in any field!!!) you will be motivated to go the extra mile because they go the extra mile. I am very well paid. I have been a nanny for over 20 years. The family I work for will come up to bat for me anytime I ask them and I will do the same. Complaining about emptying a dishwasher is very nit picky. It's kind of like the family that docks you a half hour if you are five minutes late. I don't work for those kinds of people.

This right here proves you are lying. You have no idea what a professional sounds like. [/quote]Did you even bother to read my entire post? Doesn't sound like it. If you have a problem unloading the dishwasher then you probably resent your employers for other reasons as well. You need to address the big picture. Again, if you trust your employer and they treat you well unloading a dishwasher would not be a big deal. That's all I'm saying. [/quote]

I read it and can’t relate to someone who thought that other poster was a professional nanny. I don’t resent my employers bc I’m not asked to do anything outside of my job. Just like families interview me carefully, I interview them as well. An employer who is asking you to go outside your job duties is not treating you well. An employer who respects you would never put you in that position. [/quote] Let me put it to you this way. I have a certain amount of PTO outlined in my contract. I use it sparingly and respectfully. So sometimes when I need a morning or even a whole day off my employers work with me and don't actually count it against my accrued leave. Sometimes and not very often MB is running late past the time I'm scheduled to leave. I let it go and don't ask for extra compensation. Sometimes I unload the dishwasher which might give MB an extra ten minutes to spend with her kids at the end of her workday. Every time my employers go on vacation at their choosing they pay me even though I am not working. Again that's guaranteed hours and in my contract but at least I effing appreciate it. Wake up and look at the big picture here.[/quote]

Look, your big picture is not my big picture. Your experience is not my experience. Your level of professionalism isn’t mine. I can’t relate to you bc I work with very respectful and professional families. I appreciate that I’m employed by professional families who treat me well and are respectful. You can bend over backwards for your employers but I don’t have too. My contract is very clear and they respect the contract. You need to wake up and realize you don’t speak for every nanny and just because you have to bend over backwards doesn’t mean every nanny has too. You require a lot more than me though. [/quote]
