[quote=Anonymous]We are not sure how to handle this. Our nanny is a very lovely girl and amazing nanny. We have been employing her since early June, for 50 hours per week. DH and I work in an industry ( both lawyers) where we occasionally have to stay late. We try to give her as much notice as possible, but we things come up and we can't always do that. I guess we are struggling with this revelation because she has never turned us down.

She works 8:30 -6:30 but we normally ask her to come at 8am on Thursdays for my meetings. Last week we got stuck late at work on Monday and until 9pm, and we went out to a show and dinner with friends on Wednesday, which she stayed until 10pm. It would be safe to say we have asked her to stay late 3-5 times a month, ( never later than 10:30) for work and personal time. We always pay OT and supply her with a paid taxi home.

Yesterday she asked for a meeting. She explained that while she doesn't mind staying on some occasions, she feels she is being taken advantage of by us, asking her work late all the time. She has never turned us down. Frankly we loved that we had her to rely on instead of bringing in a stranger who was not comfortable with him or his routine.

We love our nanny and we don't want her to feel this way but we can't cut working late all together. Help us find a happy medium here?[/quote]
