A PSA To Parents: Don't Expect Babysitters To Clean Up Messes You Made
Briefly

In a now-viral TikTok, one babysitter noted that parents shouldn't expect their nannies and babysitters to clean up their houses, especially if the messes were there before they arrived.
Maiya expanded on her point in the caption, writing, 'Psa to parents who hire babysitters, you do not need to have your house spotless when you have a sitter coming over. But you also shouldn't expect your sitter to clean up large messes that happen before they're there.'
The reception in Maiya's comments section were mixed. One user wrote, 'I'm babysitting not the cleaner.' Another wrote, 'Why are people assuming cleaning is a part of babysitting? Cleaning up after kids yes but not cleaning the house?'
Maiya clarified that the family never expected her to clean the pre-existing mess, stating, 'the only reason I didn't was because when they got home we hadn't even finished getting ready for bed for all the kids.'
