[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny doesn't seem to get it. She started getting late when we had grandparent houseguests half of March and we reminded her of her 7:15am start time, which is necessary as we mind the kids from 6am until then and try to get everyone and us ready. 
Now pre-school is over and camps are later and she is rolling in at 7:30am. This leaves us little time to chat about the week as DH leaves at 7am and I need to leave at 7:30am latest.

So we tell her, you need to get here at 7:15am, don't be later otherwise we are as well and it's a problem. She launches into a litany of nonsensical excuses, and looked very unprofessional (My Dr said I need to go to the gym, I am watching two kids, I have a long day, I park far away from my apartment, You are sometimes in your pajamas when I arrive).

This isn't the first time she's over-reacted to feedback or reminders, and we are getting really sick of it.  Are most nannies this way?

Unless you are always on time getting home, you should not complain

Does your MB has a wage job where she clocks in and out at a specific time?  Or does she have a salary career job where there are standard office hours and departure times ebb/flow with calls, meetings, work load?  The reason most families with the latter have nannies is they need the flexibility a nanny (not day care) provides of getting out of the house ON-TIME with less hassle and the flexibility of leaving within a reasonable range (5-6pm leave office).

So for a nanny to be so uninformed on why it is important that EVERYONE (her, MB, DB) have an on-time arrival for their jobs and stay through to complete their jobs on the back-end, shows unprofessionalism and lack of understanding.  People have a nanny for 2 main reasons: (1) CHILDCARE, and (2) ALLOWS THEM TO DO THEIR JOB.  If either or both of those are missing from a nanny, can her. [/quote]
