[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me clarify because I think I was not clear:

1) nanny, her husband and kids all live in our basement (for free if it matters)

2) nanny’s mom is being discharged today from the hospital after Covid (and 4 negative tests)

3) nanny did NOT ask for time off, but asked to bring her mom to our house (in the basement) so nanny can take care of her. Nanny cannot take care of mom in mom’s house, but nanny’s dad could take care of her (I think).

My questions are:

1) do I let her bring her mom to our house and let my nanny take care of my kids.

2) do I let mom come to my house and take time off from work to take care of my kids (this is really bad for me professionally this week)

3) say no to the nanny (her mom can’t stay here) and I think mom’s husband will have to take care of his wife [/quote]

You want to do #3 and feel entitled to it for some reason. #2 is what you really should do. But next best choice is #1 and is what nanny is asking for.

If her kids and husband live in the basement then it seems like they are going to help taking care of grandma and therefore nanny will be fine to watch your kids and be checking in.

If nanny lived in her own place she would not need to ask your permission to let her parent stay with her. By being your nanny's housing (for her whole family no less) it is unreasonable to say she can't do this, which is something she would 100% be able to do without asking for permission in a different living situation.
