[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny with job that, up until yesterday, loved.  Good pay, an adorable charge, and employers who respected me.  Until yesterday...

My MB is often late coming home.  It never really bothered me and I never even billed them for the time unless it exceeded 30 minutes.  This has been going on for over a year.  However situations changed and I agreed to pick up a former charge from daycare after work (at no charge - I just love this kid) once a week.  I told MB that this was my situation and I could not be late on this one day a week - that she had to come home on time.  She agreed.  And for three weeks she wasn't late although I reminded her several times during the day.  Yesterday, I reminded her in the morning that it was Wednesday and I had to pick up my former charge and texted her TWICE during the day to remind her and she was 30 minutes late!  I called her several times during that 30 minutes and she only picked up after about 20 minutes (which generally means she wasn't in her car for the first 20 minutes).  She apologized profusely when she got home but I was in no mood to discuss it or even speak to her.

[b]When I got to my former charge's daycare, he was crying -- and told me that he thought I forgot him.  [/b]

I am absolutely livid at my MB.  She tried to call me last night and I was in no mood to pick up.  I feel so disrespected and insignificant to not be given a thought on the ONE THING I asked of her.  This morning when I got to work, she had flowers there for me and apologized again.  I started crying tell her how the little boy was crying because he thought I forgot him.  I also told her that we had to have major changes in our work relationship and that she now had to be on time every single day or I would start looking for a new position.  Then she got angry and defensive and stormed out.

I am still angry.

So is this something we can get past?  Where was I wrong?  Should I just start looking for another position?

Why dont you call his daycare and inform that you will be late?[/quote]

How do you know she didn't?  My child would still be upset and afraid if I were late.  Stop trying to find fault with the nanny.  She is doing this for free and it is her own time.  [/quote]
