[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would she vacuum during nap time?
She won't have down time forever. When your child breaks a toy you leave it? [/quote]
OP here: vacuum his playroom as needed. Not weekly but if there’s crumbs or it needs it, why not? She isn’t suppose to do all of these things daily, but if she has time to*. The problem is that for weeks on end she will sit for 3 hours and then I find stuff she could have done to help with in regards to our child. For example, cousins brought over balloons and they deflated, she didn’t think to throw it away or a sensory bin that was used-didn’t clean it up. [/quote]

Balloons that cousins brought?  Why would that be her job?

I wouldn’t vacuum the playroom either.  My charges eat in the kitchen/dining room, so any other food is from time with parents; if they allow food elsewhere, they can clean it up or hire someone else (or pay me more) to clean their messes.

Now, if she was on she the child used the sensory bin, she should have helped the child learn to clean it up.  Again, if it didn’t happen during her time?  Nope.

Did you put the dishes and your kitchen mess in the contract?  If so, she should be doing it.  If not, no.

Thank gawd you don’t nanny for us. You sound so sanctimonious.

I’m  21.35.  You should have a contract with the tasks she agreed to do.  Now, make an explicit written list of how/when everything in the contract should be done.  If there are any child-related tasks (that don’t include cleaning up after you!) which should have been included in the contract, discuss with her.[/quote][/quote]
