[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny's work schedule has her arriving at our house several hours after I leave and while our son is still in preschool.

During the time she is at our house with no child (before preschool), she is supposed to do my son's laundry, tidy up his toys, and prepare lunches/dinners for my son. She then goes to pick him up and watches him until I get back.

Our nanny is arriving 15-35 minutes late for work every single day. I now know this because outside of our home, we have a security camera that captures everybody who is approaching our front porch or garage. The security camera is part of our alarm system and intended to prevent break ins to our home and ensure all of our package deliveries remain on our porch.

We had a package go missing earlier this week, so I went back to review the security footage to see what happened. In doing so and going back across the past 4 weeks, I am seeing that she is arriving to work very late nearly every day--and not telling me about it. I work from home 1-2 days a week--on those days she arrives on time. On the other days she is late.  I have calculated that this now adds up to me paying her for 6 extra hours this month that she actually did not work.

My nanny does not know that I know she is arriving late. We like her very much but it has led to a trust issue for me--if she isn't honest about her working hours and arriving late, what else is she not telling me?

I have no idea whether she knows about the security camera as it is outside the home and only focused on the porch and garage (though it is quite clear inside the home that we have a pretty extensive alarm system).

Any advice on how to approach other than 'I see that you have been late to work recently, is there anything going on with your commute I should be aware of?"
