[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flexibility in scheduling can be a job requirement. Its works fine for some people and not for others who have set commitments after work. It has nothing to do with being a doormat as long as you are being paid for hours worked and you knew that flexibility was a requirement when you were hired.

Nannies have no problem being flexible with their schedule when it serves them in extra paid time off because an employer takes an extra long weekend vacation or comes home early on a Friday. [/quote]

I agree with this.  I have never committed to a fixed end time for the nanny, because my job just is not conducive to that.  We have agreed on an outer limit to the flexibility--a time by which she needs to be out the door unless we've planned for a later time in advance.  We also pay her for all time actually worked with time and a half after 40 hours, but we only guarantee 40 hours per week.  The nanny knew when she took the job that there would be about an hour of "swing" time each night.  She must be available unless we've discussed a particular conflict in advance, but within that swing zone, she only gets paid for the time she works.  This is how overtime works in most jobs.[/quote]
