[quote=Anonymous][quote]Our nannies (two in twelve years) have always done this light housekeeping (make the beds, fold everyone's laundry and put it away, do the prep work for meals, vacuum dust or dirt off the kitchen/living room floor, work in tandem with me to organize drawers and closets, bookshelves and cabinets). I greatly appreciate the nanny's help with all of these tasks.

I think that other posters have it right, there is a difference between asking and expecting your nanny to do relatively "normal" (but perhaps still time-consuming and difficult) work around the house, and showing no consideration by leaving piles of dirty dishes and household items strewn everywhere like a slob.

We are similar but I don't view our nanny doing light housekeeping (including unloading dishes that were done the night before, doing or folding laundry from the weekend, making beds, or organizing toys that were left out) as a favor. This is part of her job. I appreciate that she does a good job but its not an optional thing. Our job involves light housekeeping and this includes doing things that occurred over the weekend.
