[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you don't see what the issue is but you're having the same problem she is-you have something to do so can't go home or otherwise do as you please. she works a long day already-can you or your husband go in earlier or otherwise stagger your hours? if she has anything personal to attend to like banking or the post office, those hours don't leave her any time to do so. nannies don't get lunch breaks so she can't just run out at that time. 7:30 is an early start, and if she's not getting home til almost eight o'clock she doesn't have time for much other than sleeping before she has to come to work again. you should come home on time or find someone who is available to sit for you in the evenings (say, 4-7). unless there is a real emergency you should be home on time. i've worked for people with extremely demanding work schedules and i've never agreed to stay til whenever they decide to come home. it's torture when you get through a long day, 5pm rolls around and a parent texts "hey, running late-hope that's okay"-what if it isn't? you know the nanny isn't going to abandon your kids so what are her options here? [b]be considerate of other people and give your nanny her hours in advance, or you'll be looking for a new nanny very soon.[/b] [/quote]

I'm not OP but I don't know my hours in advance or I would. It sucks for the nanny that my unpredictable schedule becomes her unpredictable schedule, but it's not something I can fix. [/quote]
