[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP what's really going on here? Obviously your nanny should arrive as close to her start time as possible, and I can see her walking in 3-5 minutes late on a daily basis could be irritating, but I wonder what the real issue is here.

Why are you watching the clock so closely that 3 minutes upsets you? Have you scheduled your morning so tightly that 3 minutes makes a difference? Are you unhappy with the rate you're paying her and trying to squeeze out every minute of work from her? Are you unhappy with her performance? We're you spoiled by your former nanny who actually arrived early, and that's the time you would prefer your nanny to arrive?

Once you figure out what your real issue is, you might have better luck in addressing it with her. Because for someone who isn't naturally punctual, as your nanny seems struggle with this, 3 minutes isn't going to seem like a big deal no matter how many times you point it out. She needs to understand why and what your real issue is otherwise you just seem like a miserable bitch looking for a reason to complain. That's not a good way to start out your new relationship.

Put in writing: Please be on time, as I need to hand off the children right at 7:30am ET and then get ready for work and leave the house at 8am sharp. Thanks![/quote]
