[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can see both sides here.

I am not sure the ages of your kids.

If they are under 3, then she probably is too invested in them to clean up much.

As nannies, we are always held more liable for other's children more than our own. 
In other words, for me, I could pee with the bathroom door open when my kids were crawling nearby, but in my current position, the mother instructed me to put her baby in the saucer even if I have to run to the bathroom for a minute. She doesn't want her baby unsupervised for a second and I follow those instructions because Lord knows if anything happens to that child I am held to a higher standard since I am the caregiver!!

So your nanny has to be careful not to take her eyes away from her charges even for a second since in a blink of an eye...anything can happen.

Unless you have a saucer, pack 'n play or other restricted item to put the kids in briefly, it would be very unrealistic to expect her to do the dishes and clean up the house with two small children running around.[/quote]
