Lateness from parents driving me mad!

[Samthenanny]

It’s pretty much every day, either 10 or 15 mins sometimes with a message to let me know and sometimes not.
one day a week a parent works from
home and more often than not I have to send a charge up so I can leave and that’s never on time either!
I work a long day 11hrs but the children are at school and I think the parents think ah it’s fine she’s had all day to herself kind of thing but that’s their choice!
1 parent will get home literally within seconds of my finishing time then won’t stop talking, giving me a list of things etc and I can be standing at the front door and it’ll just carry on.
I’ve asked to finish on time and I’ve sent a email which worked for a week and now we’re back to lateness.
I’m pregnant and all I want to do is get home at the end of the day as I’m shattered.
Apart from asking and sending emails what else can I do? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not sure why so many were confused with your post

obvious you are a nanny

anyway when they start chatting to say can we talk another Time as it’s past my contracted hours and I need to be somewhere - bye. Walk out door

what does contract say about overtime

if working at home at 2 mins before leave time. Knock on door with shoes and coat on. Say I’m off now. Kids downstairs reading / watching tv etx

do they know you are preg ?

@Blondeshavemorefun

Ah thank you, does say nanny in my user name also.

overtime should be paid as it says in the contract which rarely happens these days. I think mainly because I don’t have children during the day (parents choice completely) parents think I don’t do much. It’s not the extra money, I’d just like to finish on time and get home.

oh yeah they know I’m pregnant, told them at 12 weeks and I’m now over 6 months and very obviously pregnant.

I’ve done the whole can’t talk now I’m finished, sending the kids up etc doesn’t seem to work unfortunately.

Maybe be blunter and say I need to go. See you tomorrow. Bye. And walk.

I have an appointment to get to I need to leave on time.

every day.

That's down to your poor comprehension, not the OP.

Charge them by the minute. Make it high. Your time is valuable.

Give them one month notice about the charge.

Your time IS valuable!

I thought your post was obvious too..
i’d have a conversation and say that you can see they’re struggling to get back for 6.45, maybe they should increase your hours to finish at 7 instead and then they aren’t having to rush?

Are you hoping to come back with your baby? (Or is it too long a day?)
