[quote=Anonymous]My 1.5 year old woke up with a runny nose and congestion on Monday morning so I told our nanny to stay home just to be extra cautious, although it seemed like a cold vs Covid. Took him to the pediatrician on Monday and we had a Covid test done to be sure, and it came back negative today. The doctor says it’s very likely a mild cold since he has no fever or cough or other symptoms.

I told our nanny he doesn’t have Covid and ended the conversation with “see you tomorrow” and she replied that she still doesn’t feel comfortable coming in if he is still sick with everything going on. She said if she gets his cold it could turn into something worse and she wouldn’t know if she got Covid.

Is it normal for a nanny not to come in if your child is sick? I thought that was one of the benefits of having a nanny vs. daycare? I of course would understand if it was Covid or even the flu, but don’t kids typically get colds all the time?

DH and I both work full time and have seriously scrambled over the last two days without her but of course I want to do what’s right.[/quote]
