[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who should pay for the transition/debriefing/hand-off time seems to have come up on a number of different threads as well as how long this time should take.  Is there a standard way that this is handled?

I'm hoping that maybe this can be discussed calmly and without hurling insults.

I am a nanny to one now nineteen-month-old boy and have been since his birth.  I always take about five or ten minutes to transition him while telling MB/DB the highlights of our day and a few important details.  I like to keep everything calm for my charge's sake.  One or both of his parents come in his room (where we are generally playing) and [b]I have him show them his new library book or piece of "art work" or something new that he learned that day. [/b] I give the highlights and say my routine good-bye to my charge.  Sometimes this happens on their time and sometimes on my time.  If I need to leave exactly at 5:30 one day, I will tell the parents in the morning so they can make sure to be home for the transition time - otherwise, I don't care.  It's ten minutes at the very most.

Is this how most nannies and MB/DB's handle it?   [/quote]

Nanny here and I don't care who is paying for what -- I wouldn't skip this part of the day for the world!

That said, I have employers who respect me and my time.  [/quote]
