[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, as a full time domestic employee she’s entitled to sick leave.

However, my part time nanny, who’s hours didn’t rise to the level of qualifying for sick leave, took 9 days (only one of which I didn’t pay for) from November to June. I expect she will want a good referral from me. I fully intend to state that I needed reliable care (so we are doing the post-school care provided through the county).

If I ever followed up on a future candidate you better believe this is my first question. Your nanny wouldn’t get a second interview from me. [/quote]

Goodness you sound like a nightmare employer. [/quote]

+1  We're relocating and going to put up an ad for our beloved nanny of many years . My husband looked at the ad draft I had, and suggested we ad some language in about her rarely ever taking a sick day, and I didn't want to do that, because I think it's a bad message to send in the hiring process.  [b] She's healthy now, but who knows what life will bring.  If you hire a nanny, you need to accept that they are human and will get sick (and that you don't want a sick nanny taking care of your healthy kid anyway.)[/b][/quote]

+1 million.  There but for the grace of god go we all.[/quote]
