So, we interviewed a nanny tonight.
She speaks mostly Spanish.
I immediately liked her.
Until...
"Sometimes I can clean your house, maybe?"
I let her in on a secret.
We don't clean.
She looked puzzled.
In hindsight, I'm thinking she thought I was serious.
I guess there is no denying the state of your house when the prospective nanny offers to help you clean. You know it's a wreck!

Let her clean...it's worth it.
If you don't , I'll hire her.
I am sure your house is fine. She was probably just looking for more money.
LOL! Sarcasm is hard to translate. She will learn at the masters feet.
Beyond awesome.
A nanny that cleans.
The lottery. and you just won.
PLUS your kids will be bi-lingual which is going to move them to the front of the applicant list on any job they apply for. Too soon? Okay I will shut up.
There's always something easier about cleaning someone else's house and not your own... at least I've always found :)
Any nanny that offers to help clean is a keeper in my book. When we had nannies, I found it rare to come across those that would actually maintain the house, let alone have it cleaner for me by the time I came home. I loved walking in to be able to play with my kids right away instead of feeling like I had to clean up.
Good luck with her!
We don't clean around here either
Repeat after me... "Por favor, más limpio."
Either start cleaning up your house or get used to sayig that...but I bet our house is worse!!!!!
Now I KNOW you are crazy... Let her clean. I don't like to clean either but if someone else wants to do it you let them.

Sign. her. up!
I think your lucky to have found a nanny that is tidy. We had one who was great with our daughter but I swear we spent two hours cleaning up after her when we got home.
Offering to clean? Most nannys we interviewed wanted cars, cell phones and credit cards and they WOULDN'T clean.
Heck bring to my house and she can clean all she wants...I'll even bring in the neighbors kids if that would make her happy.
I know a gang banger who's looking for a job...shall I send my reject assistant applicants your way??
Oh dear Lord, I am there. That would totally happen to me. The first time I hired someone to clean my house, they came to me, sheepishly, to ask for for money afterwards. Mortifying.
I meant MORE money afterwards.
Uggggh.
If there's no extra pay for her to clean - I say let her. ;) That's less for you to do, if ever it comes up.
I think this is hysterical...not matter whether your house is trashed or not...flipping hysterical!
Where are you crazy chick!?! Come home soon!!
hehe... first time reading your blog and i have to say, this is so my luck as well ;)
Ha! Cleaning, what is that? I'm sure she figured out you were kidding. In my case, it would have not been kidding. I just posted a Top 10 reasons why my house is messy post to my blog this morning so this was particularly funny to me today. If you would like to use any of my excuses please feel free! I like your blog-I'll be back! :)
OOoh, that's almost as bad as when I went to get my eyebrows waxed last week and the foreign lady said "I can wax your lip, no?"
