[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You need a nanny that can take the kids to the doctor. Full stop. [/b]

Yes, one or two days a week for six weeks is insane and it looks really really bad, even if you otherwise haven’t taken time off since June. [/quote]

Do people really have hired help that can do this?  At pediatricians, you have to sign a document saying you are the parent or legal guardian and have authorization to approve medical evaluation and possibly prescribe treatment.  They also need someone who can sign for insurance information.  How do you get the nanny to sign to authorize medical treatment and provide insurance information and signature?  It doesn't sound legal to have a non-guardian do this unless you have legal guardian paperwork for the nanny?[/quote]

No, either your pediatrician is insane or you don't have kids.  You sign all that paperwork the first time you go to a new Dr, not every appointment!

My whole childhood my nanny took me to all my Dr/dentist/orthodontist appointments, unless it was something really serious and my Mom felt like she needed to be there.

Op here. I really don’t know anyone who uses their nanny this way. I’m sure that some people must do this but I do think it’s rare. Given my my DC’s SN, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with this. I mean maybe for something routine like an ear infection or a vaccine but a lot of the medical stuff we deal with requires quite a bit of tenacity and engagement. I’m sure there are Nannie’s who could do this but they probably make way more than we could afford. As it is, a nanny is a massive expense for us and we can barely afford it.[/quote]
