[quote=Anonymous]Long-time nanny here.  How often do you contact her ahead of time and get home 5-10 minutes late?  If that is fairly often - like weekly or more - that is more of an issue.  However, if you aren't late often, and if you said sorry about this particular time and explained what happened (that's important), I would not hold it against you at all.  I would totally understand.  That happens.  I would like to add that I would have preferred a phone call over a text at the time it was already 5 min. after my off time.  Still, I don't know that a gift card is in order.  Getting home early one day would be nice, but not necessary.

Do you allow time to talk about the day?  I really have troubles with people who don't build in any time to talk about important things before I leave.  Even with a nanny log, we always still have a few things to say back and forth.  When the parents get home right when I am off, then I wonder if I should blow it off (then I am not doing a good job), or spend my own time talking.[/quote]
