Lateness in Nanny share

[Anonymous]

I am a nanny in a share with two toddlers. The non host parents are between ten and twenty minutes late every day. The host Mom tells me to leave at my time but the other family gets mad when I do that. I also feel bad that host Mom ends up taking care of the two kids every day. What do you do for lateness in a share?

Take the non-host kid outside and wait on the step. Let them know that you will be out there on time. Let them know you will bring the child to them if they are at least ten minutes late, and they are responsible for paying all overtime and an extra fee for this transport.

I've experienced this is my nanny share sokme days I would stay late but other times the other family didn't mind watching the kids especially because I'm also a mom they were sensitive to that. If one family doesn't mind keeping the child for 20 minutes let them it's all about team work and if the late family is upset let them know they should make an effort to be on time or they pay you more

Start charging $2.00 for every late minute.

This. Charge extra for the time they are late. They are not only making you late, but also inconveniencing the host family who likely wants to move on with their evening.

The family has nerve for expecting you to just stay when they are the ones arriving late.

Are they really that disrespectful of your time??!

They seem really selfish to me.

It's disrespectful . Please start charging a late fee. The charge needs to be substantial enough that it will get their attention , $4 a min. Charge AND collect it. Don't be a doormat and say "It's OK."
