[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm living abroad and had a new nanny who took more than 10 days of sick leave in the first six months. Each individual time seemed reasonable at first. It wasn't a single serious illness or event, which I would be more understanding about. The final straw was when she took a week for a super minor medical procedure (think teeth cleaning -- that level). I had a new job and no leave, so I was in a real bind.

So, yeah, I'm asking EVERYONE about a nanny's historic use of sick leave. And when I saw someone post recommending the same nanny, I made sure to respond that she had had a lot of absences and wouldn't recommend her.

She had an attitude problem by the end anyway and I was sure she was abusing sick time, not just having a string of bad luck.[/quote]

OP here. Well, the fact that I employed my nanny for years might be a hint that I found her sick time requests reasonable.  Sorry you had bad luck, but I still don't think asking about sick leave is appropriate.[/quote]
