[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she's not honoring your original agreement after only a week?  That sounds like trouble. It's probably best to be looking. Also, expecting you to run errands when not discussed and expecting you to stay after the time you agreed is very odd.

That said, as an MB and as a supervisor at work, I know that people are usually on their very best behavior for the first week to month. What I see that first week in particular tells me lots about how the person will be. If on the first week on a job, my new nanny asked to leave early, asked if she could just sit in the car when she was waiting for my kids at a lesson, and if I saw evidence that there might be cell phone use issues, I would be concerned honestly.

I don't know much about nanny rates, but if $20 an hour is a high-end rate, she is probably expecting someone proactive who will be able to hit the ground running and really be engaged and into the children. Not someone who asks if they can sit in the car playing on their phone while their kid is in a lesson, especially if she already suspects you're answering texts all day.

Just being honest. It sounds like she is being unreasonable, but it also doesn't sound like you presented yourself as the high quality nanny she was expecting. [/quote]
