[quote=Anonymous]I am an MB and I am never late.  I get off at 5pm, and it takes me 30 minutes to get home.  But since I know things come up and traffic varies, I have my nanny on (and pay her) until 6pm.  Then when I get home at 5:30pm or 5:45pm, I have a few minutes to change by myself and then hear about the day before she leaves.  And there has been a time or two that I've gotten home right at 6pm, and then I'm not stressed that I'm late.  That's what I do.

If you're an MB who needs a little flexibility, I don't see why you wouldn't do it that way (really, it can't be that much to pay an extra half hour each day, can it?).  Alternatively, you could say the nanny's end time was between 5pm and 6pm and that she will be paid in 15 minute round increments depending on actual departure time.  That seems annoying to track though.

If I were a nanny and my bosses were repeatedly late (like more than once or twice a month), I would say something - "My end time is 6pm, and you have been home at 6:20pm five times this month.  I make plans for after work assuming I'll be leaving at 6pm, and when you are late, it means I'm late for my afterwork plans.  Additionally, it means that I am in your home for about an additional half hour for which I am not getting paid.  Can we discuss some options for how to address this issue?"  But then you also better be sure not to be late yourself after that conversation![/quote]
