[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB and I am virtually never late.  Perhaps 3x a year some traffic jam makes me 5 or 10 minutes late but I always let the nanny know if/when that's happening.  I have set up her hours to allow for approximately 15 minutes of "cushion" time at the end of the day so I have a little bit of give.  Sometimes I walk in the door 20 minutes or more before her day is over, sometimes it's only 2 minutes.  But 99% of the time I'm there before her day is done.

I respect her time and she respects ours.

It sounds like no one (neither employer nor employee) in OP's scenario is particularly thoughtful or smart about how they are approaching time.  If my nanny wanted to bill me in 5 minute increments for her time we would not be a good fit.  I would find that difficult.  I don't require that a time card be punched, I understand if life happens and she is occasionally delayed 5 minutes or something, and I expect the same courtesy in return.   However, it also sounds like these employers are pretty obnoxious with how they are treating time as well.

So it sounds like a good fit in terms of small-mindedness but a nightmare relationship overall.[/quote]
