I don't mind if You can early and sit in the couch waiting to 8.00 am but
some mornings I MIGHT need You to start as soon You get home and
I expect You to do it and sure You will be pay for the extra-time .

And if She does not like to do it and just want to start working at 8.00
I will ask her to come in her scheduled time because at less I will have more space to run ,
get crazy , fall down, cry or scream without a witness !!
And 8.00 am I will open the door to her with a
big smile . (nobody need to watch my miseries.)

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?

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...
