[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My nanny's hours are 7AM-6PM M-F. They are guaranteed hours, so whenever we are home early we let her leave without docking her pay. Admittedly, that is not often (maybe once every two or three months?).[b] I usually get home between 6:05 and 6:15 each night[/b] and some nights my nanny seems annoyed. Yes, I know I'm late, but isn't it part of the nanny's duty to be flexible? She is not outright rude when I get home but is curt with her answers when I ask about their day and edges towards the door. Who (if anybody) is in the wrong here?[/quote]

So what you're saying here is that you need a nanny until 6:15pm every night. So, alter her hours and pay her the extra fifteen minutes. Problem solved and she won't be annoyed with you anymore.[/quote]

Exactly.  Your nanny is scheduled to work until 6 pm, but you are almost always home after 6.  I'd be irritated and annoyed, too.  Are you okay with your nanny showing up 5-15 minutes late almost every morning?  No?  Then why is it okay for you to be consistently late?  You don't want her to be "flexible," you want her to work 5-15 minutes extra every day.  [/quote]
