[quote=Anonymous]I would call the nanny and tell her she could come late some days or I would come home early and let her leave an hour early. I think it happened so often our schedule started to feel very laissez fare. Eventually she would call me to see whether I needed her on time that day. It seemed so silly to have us both there to see over one little baby. Now, one year later I wish I would have been wiser about it.

First, she moved about 30 minutes away in February and continually arrives at the later time we settled into, in part because she now has a long bus ride and train ride whereas before she lived within walking distance. I think one reason she felt comfortable moving so far is because she had flexibility with her arrival time. Second, I got a promotion at my job into a position with less flexibility. I've told the nanny about the change but three weeks in and she still comes 10 to 25 minutes late every day depending on how quickly she can get through the Starbucks line on the way to our house. Usually she has brought me a coffee as well. What seemed like such a nice, relaxed relationship is now just frustrating.[/quote]
