Vaccinations for Nanny

Anonymous wrote:I insisted in the ad that any nanny we hired already had the flu shot and pertussis booster. It takes two weeks for each to take hold and I didn't want the baby to be held by any potential nannies without the vaccines. The nanny we hired had already had both. HOWEVER, she told me later that I should have asked for proof that she was vaccinated as she's heard other nannies say that they lied about being vaccinated. She told us that she had proof of her vaccinations, the CRP certification and photo ID in her purse when she interviewed and just forgot to volunteer it and we didn't ask. Good to know.

I'm a nanny who posted already. Some do lie and that is why I bring a portfolio of my résumé, references, recommendation letters, an updated bs kg round check, proof of current certifications and immunizations, etc. Ive received many compliments on my professionalism and being prepared. Majority of the parents I interview with said only 1-2 nannies actually have a résumé or show proof of anything. It makes me stand out.

If an MB ever asked me to get a vaccine I would RUN RUN RUN

So, clearly you will never have a job with the state department, or volunteer with a mission going to countries outside the US, or join the military ...

Is it just because this is an individual family requiring shots as opposed to an organization? Either being a nanny is a job, with employers, or it's a favor you're doing for some people, in which case you also shouldn't charge so much.

Hospitals too. Everyone from surgeons to secretaries and hospital administrators to janitor MUST be vaccinated.

Get with it, Nanny, you are caring for young children and babies - get the fricking vaccines and get over yourself.

I don't believe in vaccinations, for myself or for children. We still don't know if they are safe and the mercury in them causes all kinds of problems in children.

I know people like you exist in this world, but it still shocks me to read the stupidity.

You are undereducated.

M husband is active duty military and I still think it's ridiculous. There are a lot of things I wouldn't join the military over, vaccines are just one. Until you see them refuse to defer a smallpox vaccine even though there's a 9 day old baby in the house, shut up.

Um ... I'm the PP who wrote the original military post. My husband is also active duty, and had to get the small pox vaccine while I was pregnant. He had even been previously vaccinated because he is old enough to have gotten it as a child. So, no, I won't shut up.

How do you plan to force everyone in your office to have these vaccinations. I get a flu shot every year but have never had TDAP and do not intend to do so.

What office? We're talking about nannies.

If it is an office, you tell people they are on unpaid leave until they provide proof of vaccination.

I have an enlightened employer who does not force employees to have medical procedures,including flu or TDAP innoculations.

I work in a hospital. Terms of employment include documentation of several vaccines, titer years, yearly TB tests, and they follow when we need any Boosters. Failure to follow these protocols results in termination. Again, all of this is agreed to upon hire. The flu shot is optional unless you are on a floor with those who are immunocompromised. However, if you decline a flu shot on the other floors, you are required to wear a mask from October to May. Failure to do this results in disciplinary action. We have stickers on our badges so QC can tell easily.

Now all that aside, unless nannies are working with newborns and small babies, or immunocompromised children, I think it's fine that some nannies choose not to get the flu vaccine. Everyone should get tetanus boosters regardless of what they do for a career.

Now as to the person who thinks all vaccines are harmful....I'd attempt to educate yourself a little bit more. There are some vaccines I will never get (anti malarials come to mind) but to say all vaccines are bad is a little ignorant.

You're either a liar or stupid. And your baby is either dead or very, very lucky. So yes - shut up.
