[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny had a key, and we never left a mess, but for the first 6 months or so, we were often asleep when she got here!

Our daughter was an awful sleeper, and we were usually up most of the night. Having two extra hours in the morning where I knew that the nanny would take care of the baby if she woke up helped save my sanity! Most of the time, true, she was just down stairs having a cup of coffee and reading a magazine, but it made a tremendous difference psychologically for us.

I work weird hours, so she just worked 4 10 hour days. I really hope she wasn't resenting the morning time. [/quote]

This was my thought, too. If mom is the only one getting up with the baby, and dad is gone that early in the morning, they may have hired you for the early shift to let her sleep even if the baby wakes up. Now that baby is 6 months, though, s/he may be settling into a more predictable pattern so that you're there with nothing to do most days. Can you raise the issue with MB? Say something like, "I know you hired me for x-o'clock to y-o'clock, but it seems like most days I'm just interrupting everybody's sleep. Would it make sense to shift my hours forward by an hour? WE could even try it for a couple of weeks and then talk again." [/quote]
