I asked my housekeeper to come at 7:30 today. She usually comes at 9 but she didn’t come yesterday and she can’t stay later than 1:00 so this was the only way to get e tea cleaning time.
She was not here at 7:30. I usually leave with my kids for school 7:35 but I waited until 7:45 for her. When she still wasn’t here we left and I messaged her explaining that I had to leave and would be back 8:45.
She messaged me 2-3 minutes later that she arrived and would wAit for me.
She knows I take my kids to school in the morning. I don’t think she could have had any expectations that I’d stay in the house all morning waiting for her.
Am I supposed to pay her for the almost hour she sat in my driveway? She’s paid hourly.

If she's a good housekeeper and this sounds like a one time incident, pay her regardless of who is in the right or wrong. Good help is hard to find; don't be nitpicky and ruin your relationship over one hour.

For next time -
In this situation (variations of which happen frequently here ) I would have called, asked how far she was away, and made an arrangement that she let herself in. Eg leave the door unlocked for.a short time (with a burglar alarm on that she has a separate code for that could be traced in the unlikely event that she let herself in when I wasn't expecting) or by leaving a key with a neighbor.
For now-
I'd pay now if I hadn't organized her to let herself in

You're right. Glad I asked. I often get caught up on being right and the principle of things rather than what's smart.
