[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah yes, the age old paper towel issue.

Nannies need a ton of paper towels, ok MBs? To wipe your kids' hands, mouths and in some cases snotty noses, to clean up after you and your children (which can take many depending on the size of your counters & table and how messy your kids are), to dry their own hands after a lot of washing to prevent themselves from getting sick for your kids (no offense, but its kind of gross to use our employer's  bathroom hand towel), cleaning up after crafts and activities, etc. Some nannies even need to take them to the park to dry off slides so your kids can play more comfortably.

The point is, stop it. We work hard enough as it is, and MBs like you come along and want to make it even harder by limiting our abilities to do it. If you're that concerned about paper towels, switch them all our for dishrags.

The rest of this stuff is also really petty. No nanny is perfect and each has different ways of doing things, which will always include some flaws.

thank you!  I was shaking my head reading these ungrateful women complaining about someone being clean.  they don't realize that while it may be second nature for them to touch things around their homes or certain parts of their kids even, nannies are not as comfortable and usually have worked with many kids and had many training hours agonizing over proper hand washing which includes using disposable towels.

the family that i nanny for now allows their ds to wipe his mouth and nose with the dish cloth in the kitchen, and then won't say a thing when he puts it back on the counter!  they will also use it to dry hands and wipe things not even thinking about it.  its so incredibly gross.  they have no idea the lengths we have to go through in order to stay healthy and avoid calling in.  I love when they leave and I get him to take all of the cloths straight to the laundry room.  And they keep removing the roll I put in their master bathroom for myself when i wash.  I don't want to share towels with them![/quote]
