Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi loves it when her fiance tells her to "clean up."

The reality TV star and Jionni LaValle are expecting their first child in September.

The 24-year-old appreciates her relationship with Jionni, as he keeps her in line.

"He takes care of me like a parent, and that's what I need," she told Us Weekly magazine. "The other day he told me to clean up around the house and I was like, 'OK, Dad.' "

Snooki considers breakfast in bed one of the biggest perks of being with Jionni.

"This morning he made me a to-go oatmeal thing with a note: This is for Junior. Eat up. Love you," she recalled.

Snooki, who met Jionni at a nightclub in New Jersey in 2010, is looking forward to abandoning her hard partying ways.

"I don't regret my partying or getting blacked out," she shared. "It was awesome! But now it's time to be a parent."
