We are in our first nanny share with DD, age 3 and another child, age 2. We are not generally the host family, because we only use the nanny 30 of her 50 hours per week. Today the host family's son is sick with a fever, so I don't think it's a great idea for DD to be over there. Since we've never been in a share before, how does this normally work? I guess it's just the way it works that I need to take the afternoon off if I don't want her around a sick kid, right? (Not complaining, just curious if this is the way it's generally done.)

I've worked in shares for 8 years. In this instance, i would usually go to the home of the child that wasn't ill.

Sounds like something you need to discuss with the share family. Do you have regular "check ins" at all to discuss new issues? This is a "daycare" issue that you guys need to agree on. Do sick kids need to stay home? If so, under what circumstances and for how long? One of the advantages of a nanny is that she will care for sick kids, but it really sucks if your well kid now doesn't get care that you're paying for ...

For today, I would look at this one of two ways: 1) what would you do if this were a sibling, or 2) since you have the option to keep your kid away from the sick kid, would you prefer to do it?

Usually, the well child gets the nanny. The parents of the sick child stay home with him/her.

This. I've been a share nanny for 4 years and this is how I would expect it to be handled. The child that isn't well should not have to be exposed to the illness, nor should they be expected to play quietly inside all day, while nanny tends to the other kid. Very selfish of the other parents. It is not fair to monopolize the nanny's attention in a share, and decisions need to be made in the interest of BOTH kids and families, not just one and not just the host family.

For extreme illness (fever over 100, vomiting) sick kid stays with parents. Nanny stays with healthy kid.

For sniffles, low grade fever, etc, nanny has both kids.

Definitely discuss this now for future instances
