[quote=Anonymous]OP, you're both wrong. OF COURSE she is wrong to yell at you.

However.

Firstly, you are wrong to get there so early. Five or ten minutes early? Yes. But this is someone's home, their personal space. For you to come 2o or 30 minutes early is ridiculous. Plus, if you do that of your own choice you can not behave like you are doing your boss a favor.

Secondly, if the mom wants to feed her baby, let her feed the baby. You walk away. Go fold the baby's laundry. Set out the bath towel and pjs and night time books. Go clean up the toys you were playing with. Organize the baby's books. Read up on the next phase of development the baby's about to go through. Comb the web for activities to stimulate the baby during their current phase. Set up the fingerpaints for the next activity. Go DO something. If YOU are choosing to stand over the mother while she eats then YOU are creating a problem. Be proactive. Say, "do you mind if I sit down with a glass of water?"

Thirdly, do not ask to leave early. It's just unprofessional unless you're violently ill or have discussed it with your boss ahead of time.

Now, if all this does not fly with your boss, then maybe she is a shitty boss and it's time for you to look for another job. But my nanny does not sit around doing nothing when I'm there to see it. If he's reading a magazine or calling a friend while the baby naps, he makes sure I don't know it. [/quote]
