[quote=Anonymous]Tough one. On the one hand, your employee has the right to feel comfortable while she's working. On the other hand, you want to make sure your children are comfortable, plus it's your home and you pay the bills. Maybe you can compromise? Explain to her what your preferences are and what you feel is necessary for your kids, and maybe agree on a temperature that the house can be set to during her workday, and at other times like when she is out it should be the temperature that you prefer/turned off.

We have a trial live-in nanny  for 5 days who could not seem to regulate her body temperature and kept on cranking up the AC so that it was freezing in the house and the kids were really uncomfortable. She was in the coolest bedroom in the house and complained it was too hot, turned out she was covering herself in a huge duvet plus blanket in the middle of the summer and then adjusting the thermostat so that everyone else was freezing. We asked her to stop adjusting it several times and even put a note right over it, but she kept on fiddling with it. She was a complete nutjob in other ways too. [/quote]
