[quote=Anonymous]OP, this happened to me, and a PP who mentioned the ripple effect is exactly right. we asked our nanny to be there at 8:30 every day so that I could get to work between 8:30-9 a.m. (my office's scheduled start time). She was inevitably 5-10 minutes late every day. I never said anything about it and just accepted it as the price of admission (she is otherwise great, loves our kids and vice versa), until one day my supervisor came by and oh-so-casually mentioned how she noticed that I got into work closer to 9 a.m every day - which, of course, is permitted under our office schedule, but she obviously thought I should be there closer to 8:30 (which I would have been if nanny got there at 8:30 since I have an under-10 minute commute). That was enough for me to have a quick convo with my nanny and after that, she got there on time every day. If that hadn't worked, I would have just shifted her schedule up 15 minutes and paid for the extra time. [/quote]
