[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- not trying to be disrespectful. The times we have let her go early though have been early by a few hours and we've always been flexible if she needs to go to the occasional drs appt etc. she doesn't get paid by the minute, no. She is salaried and we don't dock her for snow days either. It all evens out in the end. Is five to fifteen minutes really enough to warrant a curt attitude? She would just spend those extra minutes in rush hour anyways[/quote]

Yes, 5 minutes is enough for her to have her things ready and be able to walk out as you walk in. 15 minutes and she should be getting paid for an overtime hour.

When our nanny is 15 minutes late, I'm truly annoyed. It messes with our day.

When I get home close to her leaving time, we often end up chatting past when she should be leaving, so I usually try to offer her an extra hour free the one morning I work from home.

Treat her time like you expect her to treat your time, or pay her more, or don't expect a happy nanny.

PS If you get home 15 minutes late and want her to chat with you about the kids day, you're expecting her to work 30 or more minutes extra. For free. That's simply unacceptable.[/quote]
