[Anonymous]

Hi i am a nanny doing nanny share, last Thursday i had a back pain when i pick up one of the boys from the crib, i went to
the emergency room and they gave me medicine for my horrible pain and also a note with recommendations about to work again
one of the family asked me if i am able to come back to work on Monday and i told her YES but i will be very limited to do things because the pain still there
they were agree and they told me we will help me but the most important is you have to watch the kids, yesterday she makes me feel horrible
she suggest to take my PTO days and rest but in 3 weeks i will go on vacation and we paid hotel flights and she told me can you use those days to rest because for us is
important you can take the kids out and also interact with them, i have only 5 days left of my PTO and i will use for my vacations, i told her i cant move my days for next week and tried to recovery but for the week on June i have to take those days and you wont pay me and she said NO. i think she wants to control everything she is pushing me to go out but i can't...what solutions do you suggested? thank you

This is what workers comp is for, but I'm guessing you're not on the books.

Apply for workman's comp. Legally she is required to have this and if she doesn't, she pays out of her pocket. Stick to your guns and start looking for a new job after your vacation.
