Arrival Time

[u/Pure_Explanation4606]

Curious what is a typical grace period for arrival? Our nanny is typically 5-12 or so minutes late each morning (my guess is related train times) We WFH but also go into the office so typically have to wait until she arrives to go get ready.

Sometimes when she arrives we are still getting baby ready for the day etc. (but I don’t think that excuses the timing)

We have GH, and we make sure to be home / come out to relieve her at least 10 mins before the end of the day. Occasionally as we are chatting she leaves +5 mins after her end time etc. but I’m always with baby at that point and feel like I make it clear that she should go.

Any advice? We have a shorter day on Fridays and am debating adjusting start time by ~10 or 15 mins each day to have additional time on Fridays..

Punctuality is a sign of respect. Both my NPs work from home, but there are times they have to jump on calls the minute I walk in. Out of respect for their time, I usually drive up 5 minutes early. I always end my day on time, why should they start their work day late. You need to set a firm boundary
