[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

I have a nanny who has been with us for about 5 months and she is really sweet and is like a part of our family. She is young and is very capable of doing things efficiently. Lately though I have been noticing that she has slowed down in her chores so there is less work tackled even when she has enough time to manage it. And she also has lately started to tweak things without asking. Like vacuum was 2-3 times a week and now she does it only once a week. 
I hate to keep following up and reminding her only because I don’t have time to do that and I don’t want to nag her and ruin the overall dynamic. 
I would like to gets some ideas on how to communicate such things without ruining relations as getting the message across. I also recently increased her salary so I feel more irritated about her not performing.
Please help! 
Thank you[/quote]

Nanny,

A nanny is responsible for taking care of my child, and ALSO cleaning the house when the child is sleeping.  As a PARENT we make sure our nanny knows our expectations. Due to COVID, it is hard to discipline our Nanny, but we have no problem reminding them over and over again.  Ultimately, when COVID is over, we are kicking her to the curb. There is no shortage of Nannies.

Is this outlined in her contract? A nanny is there to care for the children, not to clean your house.

Our nanny cleans up the toys/books/puzzles etc, straightens up the playroom, washes the kids' dishes/cups, and wipes down the kitchen counters and the table after she preps the meals and the kids eat. She's not my housekeeper so I don't expect her to do anything outside of this. [/quote]
