15 minutes late and counting...

I'm supposed to be real eased at 6, but MB and DB are late and have not called to let me know they were running late, this has happened several times in the last 2 weeks. Should I mention today when they get home?

Yes, maybe just say "I know how difficult the commute can be, but sometimes I have plans after work so if you could let me know you're going to be late that would be great." Do you have an agreement on overtime? You should, but if not and you feel comfortable introducing the topic, you should mention that you think it would be fair for them to pay for extra time in 15 minute increments.

OP here- they got home 40 mins late and apologized profusely. No we don't have a contract and I don't get paid over time.

Well then you're an idiot. Getting really sick of nannies like you. You are the reason employers take advantage of us nannies! If you want to be treated with respect and like a professional, I advise you to act like one.

Hell yeah.

And ask politely if either you can come in later tomorrow and the next few days.

If they protest, then make sure your next paycheck reflects the extra time you stayed.

If not, point it out.

Let them know, you're no dummy. And don't let anyone try to hustle you just because you are a nanny.

Why The heck not? Why are you working for free? Why don't you have a contract?

Actually, she's a huge dummy. No contract and didn't insist on OT pay? Stupid. No wonder this family doesn't treat her with respect, she has none for herself

This is why I charge by the hour and not salary. Not to mention nannies aren't salary employees, but charging by the hour ensures I hey paid for all time worked.
