Did you guys see the nanny post on MM?

[zoidberg]

Sweet fancy moses. That lady, she be nuts.

[zoidberg]

Yes.

[zoidberg]

Clean my entire house in 40 minutes!

[cville]

I can't read the second page because there's malware (according to my virus protector thingie), but people are telling her that this woman is batshit insane, right?

[Eagles]

Fuck. That.


cville, here's the list the mom leaves her:

[zoidberg]

Put dishes away from within sink!

[Eagles]

I am actually laughing that she wants the nanny to clean out the fridge each week. Oh okay.

[lilafowler]

Dude-that woman is nuts and totally trying to get a housekeeper on the cheap.

Light cleaning my ass! That list is like my personal (mental) housework checklist.

[cleo29]

Here's the thing. A nanny is not a maid. Yes, some light cleaning is normal, but the whole house? No. I always cleaned up after anything I did with the kids I cared for and kept the house neat, but was never expected to literally clean the entire house, laundry, etc.

Bitch is INSANE. I'd laugh in her face and peace out.

[zoidberg]

And that is a DAILY checklist. I don't even do all of that shit in my own home daily.

I'm getting that, too. 

Thanks for uploading the pic, Eagles! 

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I, too, would like someone to do all this to my house for $45 a day, while watching my kids.

[sofamonkey]

Honestly, I think that may be the entire list for the house, and not necessarily for the nanny to do. I mean, that's what my list looks like for out house. We use just one list to check off & see what all has to be done still.

If the lady truly thinks that the nanny is going to do it all, she's nuts.

[nannersp]

And this is the immediate picture I got in my head when reading that list.



HOLY CRAP.

I was a PT nanny several years ago and made the same as that OP. The parents were thrilled if I got a load of diapers in the wash, and I usually did a load of a dishes and cleaned up the play area.

I created a thread in GBCN help with a screen shot of this error.

OFFS. Poor girl. That list!

[aussiecrush]

I worked for people like this. The longer the list, the less they wanted to pay. :/

[cville]

In the time it took that crackpot to make that list, she could've cleaned out her refrigerator and made all the beds.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

OMG. That lady has giant balls to expect a nanny to do all that. In just a few hours. Cheap ass bitch just doesn't want to hire a housekeeper.

and for only $15 an hr! 

[pixy0stix]

Bitch be crazy.

[mudslide]

She needs a reality check for sure!

[zoomzoom]

What? No. Just no. We have a housekeeper and we don't expect her to do half that shit unless we pay her extra FFS.

Succinct.  Accurate.

[youbetcha]

Am I missing something? When, among all this cleaning, is she supposed to be with the kids?

[captainobvious]

When I nannied we had to play with the kids, get them dinner/lunch and whatnot and clean up the general "kid mess" stuff, but the rest of it was kind of a bonus. Like, if we happened to have time during naps (or whatever) we could fold the laundry if it was there, but it wasn't expected. We also were paid more than this woman and this was in 1999.

[CheshireGrin]

Maybe it's meant as more of a "If you have extra time here's a list of potential things you could do" than a "DO ALL OF THIS EVERY DAY" thing?

That's what I'm hoping anyway.

[thecatinthehat]

Even when DS took 2 long naps during the day and assuming he/I slept through the night, I still could not get nearly 80% of that list done in the 12-14 hrs that I am awake and "functional". JFC!

I remember having a nanny who asked me for more stuff to do because she did not want to sit around during naptime. LOL!
