Tbh if your nanny enjoys the job otherwise and feels appreciated a few bottles etc shouldn't make her quit. The poopy diaper being deliberately left is more unfair to the child than the nanny-why would you make your baby sit in poop longer than they need to just because you feel its the nannies job

Good for you, I do my job well with no complaints. But when you come to work with blueberries on the floor, toast crumbs everywhere, sticky counters and table dishes from dinner, milk and breakfast just thrown in the sink. That in itself is another story.

To be honest, I prefer that my nanny focus on taking care of the kids instead of leaving the house spotless, and that she be forgiving of things like leaving a bottle or two. It's all about balance!

My DH is like this - I think it's a guy thing. I do what I can to try to stop it, but sometimes he does it anyway.
But you know what - I really don't think it's a huge deal. On a really crazy morning I might leave the breakfast dishes dirty every so often. But on the flip side, I don't care if every so often the nanny leaves dishes in the sink or toys on the floor when she goes. It works both ways.

You're a nanny, OP and a clearly disgruntled one, perhaps for good reason.
Still, your thread is nothing but a troll thread. It is hard to invest any thought to help solve a fake troll problem.
+1. There is a nanny troll on this board who likes to post "bad employer" threads like this so all the other nannies can chime in about how terrible the bad employer is. I guess she figures she'll get even more favorable responses if the OP is presented as a nanny sympathizer who knows better than the "bad employer." Please! How does the MB/OP know that the DB hands the nanny a poopy baby every day? No nanny would complain about that to the MB, even if it did tick her off.
At any rate, I don't leave dirty cereal bowls--they go in the dishwasher--but bottles from the morning that need to be hand-washed? 95% of the time they are getting left for the nanny. I just don't subscribe to the notion that the nanny is only responsible for baby messes made on her watch, and neither does our nanny.
Sometimes the parent cleans up after the nanny, and sometimes the nanny cleans up after the parent. Mutual and respectful relationship.
