[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny is great— the kids love her, always on time, keeps the house clean and organized, good communication between us, etc. But she is sick a lot. How are people handling sick days in light of the pandemic still going on? We’ve been doing a covid test on both ends (we ask her to do one of she sick, we do one if one of us is sick so we don’t put her at risk.) When it’s not covid, we kind of don’t know how to proceed. Does she come sick, then the kids get sick and have potentially to sit out camps they’re excited about? Or do we insist that she take off whenever sick (which is a lot)? Technically she has 10 days sick leave on her contract, [b]but she’s had 12 days sick so far this calendar year.[/b] We’ve paid her the extra days because she really was sick and we don’t want to be cruel. The trouble is, we’ve also have several covid quarantines within our family for either being sick or directly exposed, and combined with her higher than average sick days it’s been so much to juggle without care so many weeks. We are obviously new to having a nanny and would love to hear how others manage this.[/quote]

I've only taken 5 sick days total in my 41 years of working.

Twelve sick days year to date is excessive.[/quote]

This is not normal.
