Subject: Re:For the Parents Who Arrive Late......
Reading this thread reminds me that I am so thankful to work for the people I do... they've been home ~10-20min late exactly twice in 1.5 years of working for them. Both times they called with plenty of notice, very apologetic, and paid me for an extra hour of work. They don't have to "think" I'm happy with them - I am very explicitly grateful for the respect and thoughtfulness they show me and reciprocate every way I can.

The parent gets charged and if no one can pick up the child, CPS gets called. Yet nannies are expected to just sit around and around, etc. These same nannies would be in the unemployment line if they were ten minutes late a few times a month, thus making the parents late for work.
Seems nannies are the ones who usually get the short end of the stick it seems.
How true.
My child attends a pre school and the rules state that the parents are charge per each minute we are late in picking up our child. No exceptions.
If we are more than fifteen minutes late, Child Protection Services are notified.
