[quote=Anonymous]Sorry you have gotten such snark, OP.  You sound like a considerate boss.  The reason people are giving you side-eye is that this is a pretty basic thing.  There are multiple solutions available and it should barely register.  Yes, having to do drop off/pick-up three times a day sounds like a pain, but not because of the logistics, just because it is a major interruption to her routine with the baby.  But that's part of juggling three kids, and a nanny with the experience to juggle three under 5 successfully (and be paid well for it) should be able to deal with that without any complaint as to the intricacies involved.  It's sort of the equivalent of a a spouse asking, "How can I support my husband?  He has to get the oil changed in the car tomorrow and the only time slot they had was at 6 am.  It's really hard to get up that early.  The last time her had to get up before 7 he looked really tired."

This is an annoyance, but not even on the level of something I would grouse to a friend about over coffee.  If your nanny is implying otherwise then she is playing you or your kids have serious behavior problems or there is an issue with her attitude or abilities or both.  If you just feel badlythat you apring a tougher-than-usual week on her. Then just let her know you appreciate her and move on.  The end.[/quote]
