Once I babysat as a young girl, my mother at all times taught me to make sure the home was picked up earlier than the mother and father acquired house. So, after the youngsters went to mattress, I’d go round the home and decide up toys, wash the dishes, and tidy up. It didn’t actually matter if the mess was made earlier than or after I arrived to observe the youngsters, however wanting again, perhaps it ought to have.
In a now-viral TikTok, one babysitter famous that oldsters should not count on their nannies and babysitters to wash up their homes, particularly if the messes had been there earlier than they arrived. Within the video, Maiya pans a messy front room with textual content overlay that claims, “What their home seemed like once I acquired there to babysit.”
Within the subsequent clip, she pans the identical room. There are nonetheless toys everywhere in the floor in addition to further mess, in textual content overlay, she wrote, “What it seemed like once they got here house.”
She expanded on her level within the caption, writing, “Psa to oldsters who rent babysitters, you don’t want to have your own home spotless when you’ve a sitter coming over. However you additionally shouldn’t count on your sitter to wash up massive messes that occur earlier than they’re there.”
“Additionally, reminder that the web isn’t actual. This video was a psa as a result of no you shouldn’t count on your babysitter to wash your messes from the day, however sure life occurs. This household by no means stated they anticipated me to wash all of it, and the one motive I didn’t was as a result of once they acquired house we hadn’t even completed preparing for mattress for all the youngsters🙂”
The reception in Maiya’s remark part had been blended.
One consumer wrote, “I’m babysitting not the cleaner.”
One other wrote, “Why are folks assuming cleansing is part of babysitting? Cleansing up after children sure however not cleansing the home? Pay extra in order for you that??? Is everybody okay?!”
“Have the youngsters clear up their very own mess!” one consumer advised.
The OP replied, “Completely! We at all times play a recreation to see who can decide up essentially the most toys or who can discover essentially the most inexperienced blue and so on toys lol”
One other babysitter warned, “Only a reminder!!!! When you do one thing folks count on you to ALWAYS do it and get mad whenever you don’t!! (Should you at all times make it spotless for them they are going to count on it even whenever you don’t have the time)!”
As a guardian, I’d not count on a babysitter to wash up any mess that was made earlier than they arrived. A babysitter shouldn’t be a housekeeper!
