[quote=Anonymous]I'd set firm boundaries now because pretty soon arriving a half hour early and leaving a half hour early will morph into arriving a half hour late or more and working over to make up the difference, often when you don't need her there in the evenings.

We had a nanny who was young and wanted more flexible hours since I was working from home.  This is exactly what happened to us.

She was commuting from DC into VA via Metro.  If she arrived 30-45 mins. early, she would come to start work early.  DH thought it was no big deal but it was to me because I didn't need her there at 7:30 or 8 before I started working.  I needed her there from 9 am to 5 pm when I was working.  Then the early arrival morphed into arriving at 9:30 and saying she would stay until 5:30.  Again, I didn't need her after 5 after I was finished working.  Most of the time once I stopped working for the day, the kids only wanted to be with me and she just sat around on her phone.

We rolled with it for around 8 months because she was a fantastic nanny otherwise, but in the end, the firm start & end times didn't work for her.  [/quote]
