[quote=Anonymous]MB here. I would address this very directly, without blame, and right now. Dear Jane, I need to talk to you about something that is becoming a problem. My circumstances with the new position have changed and I do not have the flexibility in scheduling that I used to have. I now have to be out the door reliably by 8 am. That means I can't be flexible about your start/arrival time the way I could be last year. I realize we had gotten into a pattern where it seemed like the first half hour was not so important, but that has changed and now it is. Is it possible for you to arrive reliably at 8 from now on?" If she says yes (even if with grumbling) then great. If she says no, then you need to reiterate the non-negotiability and say that if you were hiring her today, or if you had to hire someone new, this would be a non-negotiable so if she's telling you (or showing you) she can't or won't do it then you need a new nanny.[/quote]
