[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a troll. Our nanny has been with us for over four years and aside from this it's a great relationship so obviously something is working. I did not say I'm 15 minutes late everyday nor did I say I never acknowledge it. I don't expect a long convo on the days I get back late nor any other day really, [b]I just don't think it's fair that she's heaving a big sigh and handing me the baby the second I walk in the door at 6:03. My husband and I each commute an hour plus to work and we can't always control the traffic and we do our damnedest to get home by 6.[/b] If it's a total of twenty min extra per week should we be docking her pay when we let her leave early? I don't have a problem paying her extra but why should it work in her favor both ways? I was on maternity leave for three months earlier in the year and she was going home two to three hours early everyday but she still got paid for the hours not worked. Snow days don't count as vacation days. That doesn't make up for five or ten or even fifteen minutes (rarer occurrence) a few times a week? I'm not trying to be a troll or clueless. The whole reason we got a nanny was for the flexibility [/quote]

Wait, you want to walk in late, and have her greet you with a smile while she continues to play with your baby (a child she clearly wasn't caring for when she started 4 years ago).

My nanny can't control traffic either. Yet, I expect her to arrive on time each morning and when she's more than 10minutes late and it has happened more than a couple times in the past month, we sit down and revisit the conversation about timeliness.

And you are now admitting you are late a few times a week? A few is 3? That's more often than not?

I would quit if I was your nanny.

I just don't treat my nanny that way and my boss doesn't treat me that way either.

A weekly pay is a pay check for the max number of hours worked.

Your job is to get home on time. You can then decide if she stays when you arrive early to give you an extra hand (fine option) or if you want to give her a break. But you can't decide your contractual hours don't matter because you've let her go early here or there.

You sound as if you don't respect other people or their time OP.[/quote]
