Goldilocks
First time nanny (or anyone else) employer. There have been a bunch of things that I should’ve nipped in the bud, but stupidly chose to be polite and avoid hurting feelings (she is only 19 and very young 19 at that).
On her first day when little one was sleeping, she went into a guest bedroom and took a nap. She didn’t even bother to make the bed. I was so shocked I didn’t say anything, it was too bizarre. This kept happening so I stripped the bed to make it less inviting. She just went into another bedroom and napped there. Didn’t make the bed there either. GOLDILOCKS!!
Her claim of “I cleaned the kitchen” is just her putting her dirty dishes in the sink for me to wash.
Eats everything and anything out of my fridge and pantry without asking.
She doesn’t pick up after LO or herself. I just found mushed up strawberries on the floor of LO’s room. Toys are never put away. Laundry is never done or folded.
She is constantly snatching LO out of my hands in an obnoxious fashion.
I have a newborn as well. I can kiss catching up on sleep when she is here because she is always SINGING or blasting music. Never stops talking!
She is decent with LO, but I have caught her in some lies. For example, claiming LO ate a roll but I found the roll in the trash uneaten. Claiming LO napped for 1.5 hour when she was only hollering in her crib because she was put down without a sleep sac. When confronted, she claimed the sleep sac slipped off! She never put one on!
Is it time to part ways with Goldilocks or should I just eat my porridge?
