[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the above PP. Emptying the dishwasher is one thing, but doing a pot leftover from the night before is how job creep starts. Unless she is live in and eating dinner with you she shouldnt be cleaning up your dinner stuff.[/quote]

Emptying dishwasher is not a nanny's job.  She should only wash and put away dishes that she uses during her time on duty and should only clean areas and put away toys used when she is on duty.  The lazy MB is responsible for everything else in her house.  She can hire a maid.[/quote]

I once had employers who tried to sneak in unrelated housekeeping tasks into our renewal contract. I had to tell them no.

"Every time I empty your dishwasher or take out your kitchen trash, it's a favor to you, not the responsibility of a nanny." So they had to redo the contract, as I will never sign my name to housekeeping chores. "Nannies" who do so, aren't really nannies. They're "household helpers" who will do whatever they're told to do. They are nanny wannabes. Getting all the chores done is their priority, not the care of the child. Does anyone care if the toddler had to watch tv for two hours? So sad.
