[quote=Anonymous]MB here, who has had a similar issue in the past. However, our nanny worked shorter hours (8 hour day) and the babies had long naps. At 4:00 she would have her coat on and on the rare occasions we weren't able to let her go immediately at 4:00 she got huffy. Being a MB was new to me and there were lots of things that I hadn't realised I should work out in advance.

However, this person has been working for you for quite a while, it seems odd this is just coming up now. You do seem a bit disrespectful of her time given the long days she works, assuming this is not something that you and she have agreed is an ok arrangement. We recently gave our nanny two paid days off while we hade relatives visiting and she has offered to do some extra hours at other times but we won't try to claw back every single minute and she knows this. At the same time when we hired her we let her know that some times she would not be able to finish at a precise time, that was just the nature of our jobs and hence our nanny's job, and anyone who works for us needs to have that flexibility. We pay for the extra time in 15 minute increments. We ask our nanny to log it and submit it at the end of every pay period. She quite often doesn't charge us for it, presumably because she appreciates the number of times we let her go early and give her other PTO.

If you need the flexibility, you need to talk to her. Apologise for not bringing it up before and see if there is some way to work it out so that neither one of you feels hard done by.[/quote]
