[quote=Anonymous]For her to stay a WHOLE hour after he end time is really quite weird!! As a parent, I would not only be annoyed by that, I would be also weirded out by it as well. Strange.

As a nanny, I don't want to just bolt out the door after the parent comes home. That would look bad...Like I cannot wait to leave and go home. Like I hated my job and cannot wait to get away. By the same token, staying too long would look like I was so attached to their child, I had a tough time saying "Good-bye" which would seem weird to the parent because it would look like I had attachment issues. I usually let the parent come in, maybe use the restroom (if the child is very young!), and we discuss the day. I work nine hour days, so we discuss what was eaten, how long the naps were, where we went, what we did, and of course any cute stories that I want to share. This usually takes about 10 minutes tops. Then I wave "Bye-Bye" until next time.

If your nanny is staying too long, just kindly say, "Okay...Well...Thank you very much and I appreciate everything and we will see ya next time! Come on little Sally...Let's say Bye bye to Miss Nancy!!"

Now if your nanny does not get THAT message, she most certainly is crazy!!

Good luck to you.[/quote]
