[quote=Anonymous]OP if you don't want her arriving early you have to accept that she might sometimes be late. Unfortunately commuting times are not guaranteed to be the same every day.

Consider your own workspace/office - if you have an important meeting or an early morning client can you arrive a little early to be sure you're there and ready to go when your day starts? You are being very unreasonable in expecting your nanny to arrive EXACTLY on time.

I drive to work but as I have to find street parking I come early. 75% of the time I'm at work 15min early but sometimes it takes me so long I'm rushing in the door right at 8. I build that time in so I'm never late. If my boss told me that was an inconvenience for her or an invasion of her privacy I'd be giving her the side eye. This is the trade off you make if you need someone who is literally never going to be late. She is being responsible and you are sounding petty. Either ask her if she'd like to start chipping in (with pay) when she arrives or just go about your morning. I can't imagine she's seriously in your way if she's sitting on the couch...[/quote]
