[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If its a FT job you should be a little accommodating and flexible. That will [b]possibly get you a bonus and a great reference[/b]. It makes a nanny more dependable and likable if she makes life easier on you and doesn't fuss over a few minutes.

If its a casual babysitting job, charge for the extra time [/quote]

This is a big if. In my experience, if a family is the type to come home late relatively frequently(multiple times a week is too often) and offers little more than a flippant " sorry, oh well", they tend also to be the type to forget about the little things when reference or bonus time comes. I worked for one such family for over a year; they were late 2-3 times a week, left piles of dishes around the kitchen that I took to cleaning because it grossed me out, and couldn't manage to remember to run my payroll on time or get my hours right. Come bonus time, nothing not even a card or a thank you for the gift I got their child. Eventually I gave notice, they flipped out and threatened to sue me! I bent over backwards for this family but some people are just take take take type people. If the being late bothers you, say something. Don't sit around silently fuming expecting a big payout later because it very well may not come. [/quote]
