[quote=nannydebsays]OP, if you are still around, you emphasized how essential it is to be on time when interviewing this nanny. Now you have hired her, and she is not only on time, but EARLY, and suddenly you are pissy.

For a nanny just getting used to your family dynamic, she may not know exactly what you want from her, but I guarantee you she knows you are angry about something.

You may have to choose from a few options here.

1) Tell her that you want her to be at your home no earlier than 8 on the dot, and tell her there will be ZERO repercussions if she is a few minutes late on occasion due to her commute. Then live with the results.

2) ASK her if she would mind pitching in as soon as she gets to your house, and emphasize that you want her to be paid for every minute she works, and will use a sign in/sign out sheet to guarantee that happens. Tell her how much her help will be appreciated. And then tell her again on occasion how much it means to have her come early at times.

3) Deal with the situation as is, let your displeasure go, and be thrilled your nanny is so conscientious. Many many employers would kill to have nanny in the house and ready to go at her start time![/quote]
