I mean, it's common sense not to show up so early. And how inconsiderate of her to infringe upon your family like that.

I have a question for you OP.
What does she do for that extra hour she is there for?

Anyway, I would clearly let her know that she is not to arrive more than say 15 min. ahead of time. If she does, she can sit outside and read a book or listen to the radio. There are some good morning radio shows on locally.

These are simple instructions. Even a fifth grader could follow them.

If after making your wishes crystal clear, she still shows up early, you have no other option but to let her go.

Why would you want someone caring for your child who cannot follow simple common sense instructions??!!

Good luck OP. ~

+1 why are you people hiring these idiots?

Because it's dumb and dumber, duh.

Is she hoping you will give her an extra hour of pay since she is early?

Next time it happens I would open the door in my pajamas and say I thought I told her 8:30 not 7:30. See what she says. Then when you see her in the afternoon I would say in a joking way to remember to come at 8:30- I'm not ready for anybody to come before I've had my morning coffee and make a big deal out of it. If she still comes early I would start looking for someone new bc something is wrong with her.

Are you sure she is driving to work? It sounds like she is probably getting dropped off early.

OP said in the first post the nanny sits in the car some mornings, calling the house.

OP here. I've found a replacement since writing this post, but it's possible she was trying to make extra money by creating more hours for herself. I always paid her for the extra hour because she was here, so I put her to work.

Dumb that you paid her for that.
