[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a person who HATES to be late for anything, yet [b]I encounter weeks where I am just late for EVERYTHING, despite my attempts to leave early (or at the same time as usual). It just happens and I feel awful every time.  [/b]

Unless this is something that has been going on consistently for a while, maybe chalk it up to a fluke.  Remind her that she needs to be on time and go from there.  She is likely aware of the fact that she is late and is probably embarrassed about it.  [/quote]

Including your job?  That just isn't ok.  No employer should be expected to put up with that.  A day here and there - sure.  A day day because of a traffic nightmare - sure.  But weeks of lateness just because?  Not ok.[/quote]

Of course that is how it would be read on this site.  Geez, people really do just think everyone is the worst.  I meant weeks here and there, not weeks at a time. And yes, I realize employers should not have to "put up with" 3-4 minutes of tardiness consistently, but there are just times that it seems to happen a few days in a row.  Fortunately, I work for people who are understanding of the human condition (I am no longer a nanny), and don't flip out over a few minutes. [/quote]

I am  not sure the human condition entails "much more than 10 minutes" tardiness "every day".  sounds more like the nanny is disorganized and does not make an effort to be on time. [/quote]
