[quote=Anonymous]What an odd situation.

Given that there is a coffee shop down the street, can you get a gift card for her from the coffee shop, say $10-20? You can explain that you understand that she is having a difficult time with her transportation, so you've gotten her this gift card for the coffee shop so that she can have a bit more time to herself before starting work and your family can of course also stick with their normal morning routine. I know it might sound like a weird thing to do, but it is a more thoughtful approach than just telling her you don't want her there, while at the same time establishing that she does not come to your house so early. Hopefully once the gift card runs out she will continue to go to the coffee shop if she still needs to arrive early. If she turns around and says the gift card has run out and she needs to be there early again for an indefinite period, or she wants another gift card, then you need to just tell her that you're not comfortable with that and can she please find some other way to organize her day so or pay for her own coffee so that she comes to your house at her usual start time.

Having said that, if neither you nor she can afford to buy her a cup of coffee in the morning, then there's something wrong with this picture.

If she is a good nanny and you want to keep her than I think you should be able to work this out.[/quote]
