[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny....we had a professional nanny for 14 months before moving to hosting Au Pairs.  This professional nanny was "stuck in traffic" and late about once per month but the ONE TIME we were home late because we were rear-ended, she was extremely annoyed and asked to be paid overtime for those ~30 minutes (we probably would have anyway but she showed zero concern for our well-being and was just mad we were late...)  The last 7 years hosting Au Pairs we have only been late a small handful of times and every single Au Pair has been gracious and understanding about it.....

Clearly being late all the time is disrespectful and a sign of selfishness and poor planning but an occasional traffic emergency is understandable and I would think that "professionals" would understand that...[/quote]

Not all APs are created equal and not all nannies are created equal. Sometimes you get a dud but don’t judge everyone in that category (no matter the category $ off one experience; that’s illogical. [/quote]
