[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  So let's say nanny's work day is 8 - 6 p.m.  Based on responses so far, it sounds like I can reasonably expect nanny to be there from say 7:55 to 6:05 if she needs 5 minutes at both ends to get ready to work/leave?  I ask because our nanny spends about 5 minutes in the bathroom at the start and end of work day to use the toilet and change into her work clothes.  I don't begrudge her use of the toilet, but changing seems a waste of her work time and she ends up starting work about 10 minutes after the start time due to a combination of lateness and her prep time.

FYI I NEVER arrive home late causing her to leave late.  This is not a situation where DH and I keep her late sometimes so she feels it's okay for her to arrive late sometimes.

I think the issue is that our nanny plans to arrive on time, but little things happen every day that cause her to arrive a few minutes late.  I would like to tell our nanny that she needs to 1) give herself a cushion of 10 minutes so that she is arriving early to on time, not on time to late as she has been and 2) be ready to dig into work on the hour, sharp, meaning she needs to arrive a few minutes in advance to do whatever prep she feels is necessary.  Sound reasonable?[/quote]

She needs to arrive early enough to be ready to take baby from you at 8 full stop. Shoes off, hands washed, lunch out away (my nanny arrives 20 min earlier, changes, in summer she showered since she takes the metro/bus and walks, her choice). In return she leaves at 5 so I arrive before 5 so we can have 10-15 min for her to tell me about the day and change and be out the door at 5. [/quote]
