[quote=Anonymous]Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I am fairly new on here.

Anyway, I am seeing this problem a lot in my work as a Nanny/Babysitter and am wondering what is appropriate.

On many occasions the parents will show up later than expected...Nothing major...Usually within a 10-20 min. time frame. I notice many families handle it differently. Some will simply apologize, then pay me my regular amount and send me on my merry way. Others will add five dollars while others will round up either to the half hour or the whole hour. The ones who add up to the whole hour explain they do it because number one.) They were late and feel I should be compensated for my extra time and number two.) That since they agreed to be home by a certain time...say 8PM, then came home at say 8:20PM, they know that I had counted on leaving at 8 so for the inconvenience of that principle alone, I should be compensated and rounded up for the next hour.

What do you all think?
