[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I was right, we spoke this morning and my nanny believed the later arrival was in fact a change in her hours and she was upset that I was increasing her work and not paying her more. I reminded her that our agreement was always 9-6 even though she usually worked 9:30-5:30. I also explained that I would be fine with 9 only the two days a week I actually needed it IF she could remember which days those were and not be late on the 9:30 days-- so I agreed to the different arrival times-- we will see if it works. I do always feel though, that when I give a little, I get pushed into more.....[/quote]

Is she due for a raise? Maybe she thought the shortened hours were in lieu of one? In any case, I learned after our first nanny that it's not really fair to just assume someone knows what you're thinking. I think you need to sit down with her again and really talk this through based on your needs and your original agreement. If you didn't have anything in writing, though, you need to think on whether or not this went on long enough to constitute an actual change that she could rely on. If nothing was in writing, you had more of a responsibility to let her know that the shorter hours were either temporary or a perk. Otherwise, how was she to know the "new" agreement didn't supersede the old?[/quote]
