[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here- I think that’s totally reasonable. The only thibg is that I don’t love working late, as you can do anything after work and now you can’t do much in the morning because what can you do before 11? [/quote]

I agree. My that depends on your nanny. I like to run all errands on weekends and even medical appointment I do weekends. Just ask your nanny if the shift in hours would be fine. Personal, I don’t like hours like that. I work from 8-4:30 and I’m home by 5. Getting home by 9:30 I would go straight to bed since my internal clock always wakes me up by 6 am. [/quote]

So both you and the pp nanny think it's reasonable, but wouldn't like working that late.   
What would you do if your employer presented this to you?    Would you say yes at first, but starting looking for a different job?   Say yes and just continue working, even though you don't like the new hours?   Refuse completely and stop working for the family?[/quote]

NP.  Not a nanny but I had a boss who once asked me if I would like to change my hours to Noon to 8 pm to accommodate our California office and I said no Imediately, as did everyone else he asked until he tacked on a $100/ week salary increase.  You want crazy hours, pay for them.[/quote]

I'm the pp that asked (I am not the OP of the thread) and I agree.   Hours worked after 6 pm or so deserve a premium in pay.   Ditto for unusually early hours.  [/quote]

Honestly, I wouldn’t even do it for the money. I feel like I can get more done when I leave work at 4:30 then entering at 12 or later on. [/quote]
