[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, to answer your original question: 
Yes, take your nanny at her word. She can make her decisions.[/quote]

You've never told your boss you were ok with doing something when you weren't?[/quote]

I guess I am assuming that they are paying her additional for the extra hours. If my assumption is correct, maybe it’s not, then I think three years in the nanny might feel differently about additional hours and income. I can imagine setting that boundary with a new employer/family to manage expectations. And, I can imagine genuinely choosing differently three years in. [/quote]

OP made clear that the nanny said she's do it "only" because of how the toddler was acting.  And you're totally assuming without any foundation that she now "feels differently about additional hours and income."  Nothing in OP's post gives any hint that that's the case.  In fact, it's quite the opposite.

You, like OP, are placing less value on the nanny's time as opposed to the OP's. [/quote]

OP stated that’s the ostensible reason, I don’t assume that is 100% what is driving the nanny’s decisions. I am giving the nanny credit for being able to make her own decisions, set her own boundaries, and to work/earn as she chooses. [/quote]
