Nanny student's schedule conflicts with mine

[Anonymous]

I'm a nanny and a student. I think she's being unreasonable. I have asked my family for schedule adjustments before for certain semesters, which means I'm starting 20 min earlier to leave 20 earlier so I can get to my class on time.
To completely change the schedule is a bit much. I would tell her that you can't reasonably accommodate those classes and to have her either change her schedule, or let her go.

As other people are saying, you needs new nanny. Her immaturity is really showing by asking you to meet with her advisor. Who does that?
As it has already been said, a nanny is to make your life easier, not visa versa.

New nanny. She needs to do what's best for her schooling and future, and you need to do what's best for your family and your job.

If those things are in conflict that's unfortunate but that's life. You will have more than enough on your plate, don't add accommodating a student's schedule for your childcare needs to that - it's just needless stress and obligation for you.

Full time student and full time nanny (50hrs) aside from asking to leave 30 mins early one day a week one semester I have always worked my class schedule around my employers crazy schedule. I have dropped classes and extended my education by a year because my income was more important. You should tell her your hours and ask her to either change her schedule or give notice. She isn't your daughter, she's an employee. If she can't accommodate you then she needs a different flexible job.

I am a full-time nanny and a full-time student and I would NEVER expect my employer to rearrange their work schedule around my school schedule. Your nanny is an adult who needs to find a way to balance her work and school life that does not impact you.

THink of it this way - if you were just hiring for the position now would she be a candidate? Probably not.

Tbh I wouldn't even meet her advisor. By meeting you are giving the impression you are willing to move things round.
The hours you need are just that-the hours you expect and need a nanny to work. She needs to make a decision-stick with the job on this basis or look for a part time job elsewhere. But she is going to find it hard to find a job who can accommodate her wishes
