[quote=Anonymous]Obviously a nanny with kids cannot limit her interactions to your family, because someone has to take care of her kids, and you have no control over that person. Just like you have no control over a nanny's spouse/live-in partner, or roommate, or anyone else in the nanny's household. If you expected her to tell you when a member of her family -- not her -- was ill, and to stay home when any member of her family was ill (with full pay), then you needed to be really clear about that. Because I'd guess that her experience is that employers expect her to come to work unless she herself is ill (and that they are likely annoyed if she stays home). Yes, it's a pandemic, but this is something that's been really ingrained in American workers -- you're supposed to drag yourself into work even if *you're* not feeling well, and you're really not supposed to inconvenience your employer by staying home for a sick kid.
