Yes, this was the situation. It's not like I could bang on her hotel room door or anything. And I honestly don't know what people who don't travel know. How would I?!

Your boss made it your job to figure this out when he assigned you to babysit. Seriously, OP, just take some responsibility. You didn't do the work to educate her with regard to what can go through security and how to dress for travel. She alone is responsible for not getting up on time. But, that may not have been a problem had you prepared her in advance for getting through security.

Hold on a second. The Boss can't make her off-work behavior his responsibility. When they are on travel... sure... she can be responsible for her but it is totally unreasonable to expect that a 40-something year old woman is incapable of getting to work on time. This is exactly what happened. She didn't get to work on time.

1. The boss is incompetent for (a) hiring her and (b) assigning you this task for babysitting her in hers and your non-working time. 
 2. Where are the feminists voicing complaints that a woman needs a man to babysit her?

How do you know OP is a man?

And some women, like some men, are incompetent. It's not a feminist issue.

I actually thought OP was a woman and was annoyed that a boss would assign her to babysit another woman (thinking a man wouldn't have the patience to put up with a 40 year old new colleague's inexperience).  But I'm a woman and agree with PPs that it's every person for themselves where I work when it comes to travel.  (With the possible exception of very senior staff who travel with entourages).  I would be annoyed if my boss assigned me to babysit a colleague (unless they were really really young maybe).[/quote]
