[quote=Anonymous]OP here. That is the thing-- she is great when she is actually here- think loving grandmother- never on the phone, always ready to help-- if you asked her she would say that she is exceptional. Today it was the rain, the bus was late, she thought I said 10:30 not 9:30, etc. Our first nanny was a young sister of a friend, our second had great recs but ended up doing a lot of crazy things- both were fired- this one came with good recs and was our 3rd. I am part of the problem in that my job is very flexible- so often, when she is 10-20 mins late- it isn't a big deal because I hire her to be here 30 minutes before I need to leave anyhow. It never fails, though, that the days when she is really late it is when I need to be somewhere. She is taking advantage of my being too lenient. I have tried-- "please be on time"-- should it now be "come on time or be fired"? I always have that nanny in NYC in the back of my mind-- not saying that would happen-- but neither did that family-- right? To the pp-- she is at 40 hours or less and nets about 800 a week-- and for her qualifications-- she is over market for sure.[/quote]
