[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Praise, critique, praise.

Tell her how happy you are generally - which you genuinely are, it sounds. Then say there's just one point that you need to address and that is the start time. While you understand being 10 minutes late seems rather minute, [b]for you it throws off your commute and your boss really expects you to be on time, so you don't have the flexibility that you'd like to be able to offer. Ask if there's anything you can do it make it easier for her to be on time - like maybe if you park elsewhere, the nanny can park in your drive way?[/b]

Then close with more praise.[/quote]

I say screw that. The nanny has to be on time because THAT IS HER START TIME. Period. Even if the MB works from home, even if the MB isn't working at all. You leave whenever you have to leave in order to get to work on time. Period. You don't get to work when YOU think your boss needs you there. You get to work when you were TOLD YOUR START TIME IS. Period. If the nanny needs to account for ten minutes to find a parking spot, then the nanny needs to add that into her commute time. [/quote]
Not every parent cares to cycle through a couple dozen sitters to find Mary Poppins.

Btw, if you do find her, you get different challenges to work with, don't you?[/quote]
