[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS' nanny's day starts 20 min before we actually need her.  It provides a nice little buffer in case she hits traffic or is running a few minutes late.  When she arrives, she will take over but if she's running a few minutes late, it's not a problem for either DH or me to continue with DS.  So in OP's case, nanny's hours would be 740-whenever  her end time is.  [/quote]

Nice for the nanny; does your employer pay you for an extra 20 minutes each day in case you hit traffic?  I can see leaving a short 5-10 minute buffer, but the employee should be responsible for arriving on time, meaning she plans for contingencies.[/quote]

Not PP, but I'm assuming the 20 min buffer is not for the sole purpose of unexpected traffic. It's likely so the parents can have 20 mins between nanny's arrival and their departure or log on time so they can eat, use the bathroom, get dressed, etc while nanny is there before their work day begins. In my opinion, having the nanny's start time be the same as the parent's departure or start time, that sets everyone up for failure and stress.[/quote]
