[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I have three weeks vacation of my choosing, with caveat that they can refuse to honor it if I don’t give at least a month notice. Then I have five days of sick leave which I can use with no notice whatsoever.  my policy is that if I’m sick with something that’s not too severe and that logic indicates I probably got from the children (meaning I would not be contagious to them because they’re already sick with that thing or they just got over being sick with that thing), then I will usually just work through it. If I have a cold or a headache or I’m lethargic, then I go to work anyway and we order pizza for dinner and watch a lot of TV.

In practice, I always give as much notice as possible or planned vacation and they bend over backwards to make it work, even if I only have two weeks notice that I want to take a long weekend. Because I work a split schedule and can do doctors appointments while the kids are in school, I have an actually used a sick day since before Covid hit because I’m a pod with my nanny family and we are all very Covid cautious so none of us have had Covid or anything else too serious.[/quote]

Out of curiosity — what happens if the family is sick and contagious contagious. Are you expected to come in and potentially get sick yourself? Do those resulting sick days count against your sick days?[/quote]
