When do you start paying nanny if the job starts when the nanny picks up the child at school?

If school gets out at 3:15 and is close to the parents' home, when do you start paying the nanny? 3:00? 3:15? Earlier?

3:15. You do not get paid for the time it takes to drive to your job.

If she were starting at 3:15 at your house, you wouldn't pay her from the time she LEAVES her house to set out for yours.

3:00. You want her a few. Minutes early and travel time.

Does nanny come to your house to pick up a nanny car first? Do you really count hours to the nearest 15 minutes? Do you want to lose a good nanny over $15 minutes of pay? What time is she expected to be in the carpool pick-up line?

OP here. The school is a five-minute drive away (which includes time to find a space, park, and walk in), or a 12-15 minute walk from the house. It does not matter to me if the nanny comes to our house beforehand. We currently pay starting at 3:00 - which I think is not necessary but is a little generous. Just wondering what others do as our schedule may change.

Oh - and no nanny car pick-up. We have one she can use, but she prefers her own. No carpool line either: it's a public school.

Oh - and yes, we do count hours to fifteen minutes because if we are fifteen minutes late, we pay for that.

The fact that you're ALREADY paying her for 15 minutes BEFORE the time her job starts is plenty.

Just pay the nanny when her job starts 3:15pm since she doesn't have to come to your house first. 15min extra per day at $20 an hour comes to $1200 per year you are paying for services not needed or obtained.

What an ass.

What happens, OP, if the nanny arrived at 3:20? Nothing?

I would start pay at 3:15 since that is officially her start time since that is the time she needs to be fully present.

hunh? Unless a 3:00 start means a weird number since she ends at x:15, I don't understand why you would not just say the start time is 3:00. I would not want her barreling up at the last second at 3:15 if that is exactly when school lets out.

+1 and give extra money as bonus during holidays or something. Your nanny will be more appreciative.

Start her hours at 3pm.
