[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](OP) Imagine if I arrived home 15-20 minutes early every day then sat in the living room watching the nanny work. Is that not the cause of several threads on DCUM? Employers who supposedly upset the daily routine by being around the house or are at home not doing anything but don't relieve the nanny early? This is similar. I want the nannies arrival to signal to my child that it is time to transition. Instead, the nanny has been sitting here for 20 minutes without taking over DD. I if the breakfast caught on fire the nanny would, quite possibly, keep reading, probably just swipe to the next page without asking if I needed help.[/quote]

Plenty of parents do come home early. They go change their clothes or check email in the office. I don't stop working just because they come in. If the mom was 20 min early and came to join in whatever activity we were doing, I wouldn't just leave. I would keep doing the activity and tell you about the day. If you just sat on the couch for 20 min with your iPad I would assume you were busy and try to keep the kids out of your hair until quitting time.

You don't sound like a nanny. Age of your charge?[/quote]

What, why doesn't she sound like a nanny? I'm a NP but I do the same and only leave early if they tell me to. I have a baby and a toddler...[/quote]
