Nanny wants three days off for 2nd vaccine

[Anonymous]

If you *don't* give her the time off, you're telling her that you don't care about her needs, only your wants. I truly hope you re-think this situation and check yourself on how to treat someone who has clearly demonstrated loyalty and hard work for a very long time.

She definitely does not need to take the day off when she gets her shot (maybe a few hours to make the appointment. That said, if she is never sick, I would be ok with that

You rich entitled assholes are the worst! You don’t own your nanny. I’m curious what you and your husband do, OP, that is SO IMPORTANT that you can’t each take a day off to take care of YOUR OWN KIDS.

Seriously, you suck OP.

+ a million. Nannies are getting us through this pandemic but no one ever talks about them, with lots of of risks to their own health and no job security or benefits. Add to this entitled boss parents like OP who think their needs are more important than hers. Guess who will be benefitting from her getting the shot as well, the precious kids and parents with the oh-so-important jobs.

+1. I'm sure if Joe Biden were sick, he'd take a day off. Are you saying you're more important and indispensable at your job than the leader of the free world, OP?

It’s going to be really, really hard for us right now with working from home but she definitely has the time coming. And our toddler will have a hard time without her. How can we compromise on this?

How would your boss compromise in this situation? Or, would she let you have the time if you'd earned it, even though your colleagues would miss you and have a hard time without you.

In light of the Rachel Hollis debacle, you should take time to watch Austin Channing Brown's response about how this question of yours is white feminism, and therefore not inclusive of other women of color (assuming your'e white) or socioeconomic status.

How about dosing your kid with Benedryl for the duration that she is away?

My nanny is extremely well compensated and we have bent over backwards to accommodate her this year, including allowing her to bring her own children to work and providing them with a dedicated room in our house for virtual
School and dropping our expectations WAAAAAY DOWN for her work over the last year. We have also paid her for several weeks when she was not working due to Covid exposure related issues.

It’s a partnership. We do expect her to be pretty reliable and consistent about coming to work, especially now when we don’t have many options for back up care. We really depend on her and we pay her accordingly. She’s worked for us for years and we hope she will for at least another 3-5 years.

Expecting a nanny to come to work consistently is not unkind or disrespectful. It’s not a super flexible job hours wise. That doesn’t make me a bad employer.

How much do you pay her?
