[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, did MB offered extra money for your friend to take a taxi to the train station? While I don't think it is acceptable for the MB to change schedule at the last minute so much, the problem at hand of being early by 45 minutes, can theoretically be solved by your friend taking a taxi.

My nanny once asked for PTO as she needed to pick up someone from BWI and drive that person to Richmond or something like that. I couldn't come up with back up child care for that day and could not take off from work. I offered to pay for the train ticket, and that solved the problem, but then the nanny did not want to take my payment anyway, as her friend took a bus which was very cheap.[/quote]

The difference between your situation and OPs is that your nanny requested to use PTO, as in she was the one requesting a schedule change, and you are of course within your rights to say no. It was quite generous of you to offer to pay for a train ticket. It is OPs employers that are requesting the schedule change, and OP has plans. She has no responsibility to bend over backwards to further accommodate them. She's allowed to say no, she's allowed to have plans. Backup child care, people. Get some. In fact, I think I will make this a requirement in my next contract. There needs to be a backup person that you can list on the agreement, that I can contact if need be. Stop giving your nannies crap because you are irresponsible and rely so heavily on a single individual who cannot possibly be available 365 days per year/24 per day. [/quote]
