[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't cut her to 40 hours  a week  from 50 that seems punitive and an overreaction.

I would hire a backup sitter for late evenings and dates and even back up sick days.

I can understand her feeling taken advantage of. Not knowing the details of the situation or  nannies side of the tale saying no isn't always an option plus the constant asking is well I can see it building up. Her feelings are her feelings.

I would not approach it as "well nanny you're wrong we aren't taking advantage of you. you always say yes, and  you could say no. so we're cutting your hours."

She communicated  to you very professionally.  That's  huge a positive!

So many would have behaved passive aggressively or gone out to find another job and quit.

I would approach it as:

Thank you for  letting you know and you appreciate her professionalism on the matter.

Let her know you think she's doing a great job, you don't want her to feel taken advantage of or burnt out.

Mention you are looking for a back up sitter for times she's not available for late hours or extra sitting.[/quote]

Where did you get that we would " cut her her hours"? We never even wrote that. [/quote]
