Honestly I don't think it's realistuc for you to ask them to prepare a spotless sink for you every single day.
But yes, it's gross handling your employers dirty dishes and used silverware.
I just wash my hands after.

our nanny is ok with us leaving dishes for her to do (she even sometimes says "just go to work, i'll take care", but we make sure we do not take it for granted, and always thank her, plus it is important that if she decided not to do it on one day, parents should be totally ok with her not doing it. again, never take it for granted.

that said, nannies who would rather text and watch cable to prove the point that "dishes are not their job" are not the type of nannies we would hire. also, sometimes parents truly do not have time in the morning to do the kitchen for the nannies to enjoy it. it can be gross, but it is also life of people who work, and mornings are the worst.

Get up 1/2 hour earlier so you have time to leave a clean kitchen. I did and it isn't that difficult. You are just lazy.

Anonymous wrote:I've been with the same family for 10 years and really you nannies need to relax. Sometimes there's a couple dishes and it takes all of 2 minutes to put them away. Big deal.

All you nannies complaining about a few dishes here or there are probably the same ones complaining that you don't get a bonus every year either.

I have time during nap and really don't mind putting a few extra things in the dishwasher just to make my bosses lives easier. I even sometimes make their bed when they don't have time!

In return my bosses let me leave early, take vacation at my choosing, pay me well above market rates, give generous bonuses and pay for health insurance and into my retirement. Look at the big picture ladies.

Bitch, your home is my office. Please leave it as neat as you find it.
