[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where was she, OP, in that 75 minutes before she had to pick up her daughter?  [/quote]

So apparently she had to go to the bank which closed at 1 pm. TBH I'm not 100% believing that, either, because what bank closes at 1 pm on a Monday?

She has only worked for us for 3 1/2 weeks so it's not some super long relationship where this has been her only offense and I feel like firing her.

Also FWIW maybe I'm using the word nanny too liberally here. She works 24 hours a week, which works out to 2.5 days a week. I'm paying her time and a half to work on her off days- so I don't think it's some "huge favor" for her to be over here- good money for her and she can bring her daughter.

I just feel like this early, it was stupid of her to just assume and not ask. Honestly had she presented the scenario the way she did after I got home, I would have been inclined to say yes. But not happy to be totally caught off guard like that. I'm surprised so many people would be okay having no idea where their kid is! [/quote]

It's still a favor even if you're paying her for it. And you're paying her time and a half? Does that mean she's earning less than she would on a day with both children? You sound like you get worked up easily. If you want her not to run errands while she's keeping DD, let her know. You're allowed to do that. But don't expect her to work on her days off if you're going to be so rigid. She saves her errands for her days off. Her life has to continue running even when she does favors for her boss. [/quote]
