[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You rich entitled assholes are the worst!  You don’t own your nanny.  I’m curious what you and your husband do, OP, that is SO IMPORTANT that you can’t each take a day off to take care of YOUR OWN KIDS.

Seriously, you suck OP.[/quote]

+ a million. Nannies are getting us through this pandemic but no one ever talks about them, with lots of of risks to their own health and no job security or benefits. Add to this entitled boss parents like OP who think their needs are more important than hers. Guess who will be benefitting from her getting the shot as well, the precious kids and parents with the oh-so-important jobs. [/quote]

My nanny is extremely well compensated and we have bent over backwards to accommodate her this year, including allowing her to bring her own children to work and providing them with a dedicated room in our house for virtual
School and dropping our expectations WAAAAAY DOWN for her work over the last year. We have also paid her for several weeks when she was not working due to Covid exposure related issues.

It’s a partnership. We do expect her to be pretty reliable and consistent about coming to work, especially now when we don’t have many options for back up care. We really depend on her and we pay her accordingly. She’s worked for us for years and we hope she will for at least another 3-5 years.

Expecting a nanny to come to work consistently is not unkind or disrespectful. It’s not a super flexible job hours wise. That doesn’t make me a bad employer.[/quote]

Are you the op? Allowing your nanny this leave time will only serve to benefit her, you, and the community. Not allowing it will cause her to put off the vaccine until she finds the perfect Friday slot so she can recover in peace. Just give her a few days so you can BOTH get back to normal. No more virtual school, no more lower expectations. You've accomodated her this far, just keep going for this one last very important thing.

Unaccommodating employers are going to be a huge problem in getting people vaccinated. [/quote]
