When the childcare provider has a sick child...

[Anonymous]

I'm a nanny who brings own child to work. If my child is sick my husband stays home or I use my opt. If the other child is sick I make a decision if I want to bring my child along. As a mother I would never be ok with my nanny taking my own kid to her sick kid's doctor appointment.

What did you end up doing, OP? Please give us an update.

I had to go to work and she watched my child. I guess her neighbor went with her to the doctor to help her out. My son survived, hopefully he doesn't get sick. I'm interviewing 2 new babysitters bc I don't think this one is going to work out.

How much are you looking to pay? There are lots of people on sittercity and care.com.

Yes, hire a Nanny who can come into your home & care for your child only.

This will limit his exposure to germs from another child.
