[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ok, so a nanny can't have another job after the FT one she has each day? Or school or anything else planned? That is what you are saying, a nanny can't be late in the mornings since it would cause MB to be late to work. Well, if MB is constantly late home each evening, then she makes NANNY late for whatever nanny has plans for, which could be anything. There is no rule saying nanny can only have one job, or can't be taking evening classes, or whatever. MB has no special powers that make it allowable for her to be late all the time and therefore making nanny late as well. [/quote]

Look you are being immature and unprofessional. This will not get you anywhere but pissed off or fired.

In the working world, the reality is that you can't be late but you can often be expected to stay late. This is pretty much the norm in many professional environments. You never show up late in the morning to your client's meeting and you can't boot them out the door when the clock strikes five. This is what it is. Doesn't matter whether you like it or not.

It sucks but in many professional environments working parents need to prove that they can still do their job with kids. I kid you not but you can really harm your career by saying something like I need to cut this short because my nanny is meeting up her girlfriends. It says you didn't make good choices in having childcare. A dad saying this would be laughed out of the room but if he said I need to cut this short we have a T time at club X then everyone would be OK. In other environment like healthcare, the entire setup expects doctors and even nurses to work beyond their shifts when something comes up. Sometimes this is a medical emergency or sometimes its just out of compassion to not walk out and hand off a patient immediately at the end of the shift.

Not all parents work in these types of environments but many do. If as a nanny you want to be out the door when the clock strikes 5, you have to say something upfront in the interview. [/quote]
