[quote=Anonymous]Ouch!  OK, she's learned her lesson - she will say it this way in the future (the way it's been said "I am not comfortable taking the subway/bus at 1 in the morning so if you're going to be home later than 11pm then I won't be able to babysit." I personally wouldn't want to demand that they add the cost of a taxi into the bill - if they said "well, why don't you call a cab?" I'd say "because a cab ride from your house to my apt at that time of night costs $60 and given I'm going to make X amount for babysitting that night, it doesn't make sense for me to do that."  Then they could either say they'd split the cost or pay for it all.  Or just say ok, we'll find another babysitter.  But to demand cab fare I wouldn't say is right, and I'd only do all the explaining if they pushed the "just get a cab."

And if they are late after that conversation (as in, they come in after 11pm after they agreed to it) I would never babysit for them again in the evenings.  Just because you are their daytime nanny doesn't mean you have to babysit at nights - my friends who have a nanny use other people for night/weekend babysitting all the time.
