My nanny is starting full time this week. Do you think it would be cheeky to ask her to stay in Tuesday morning and wait for the washing machine repair man to come. I don't want to take advantage especially as it is week one. Do you think I could ask ?

I quite often wait in for things for my boss. It's certainly not a problem for me as long as the children don't miss out on anything we had planned.

Completely fine

I would be surprised if it was a problem. Certainly my nanny would happily wait in.

Yes - my nanny usually more than happy to help out like this if nothing else on.
