Are nannies required to disclose all medical and recreational activities? So if your nanny drinks, she needs to let you know exactly how much each week? All medical issues disclosed, like her doctor records?

The attitudes here are amazing. I understand not wanting someone in childcare that is an addict, a drunk, or jas no discretion, but there is absolutely no difference between your wine or cocktail after work and an occasional joint to relax. Plus, most people that use oils and edibles are using them for pain, insomnia, etc. Alcohol is much more evil than any cannobis product, and I would rather hire a nanny that tokes up occasionally or uses edibles for medical reasons, than a drinker.

Marijuana is illegal by federal government. Some states allow it with a prescription. If your health issues are that severe to need it, both should be disclosed. No way would I allow someone to drive and care for my child who uses drugs. And, lies. An occasional drink is legal. Most people who use it are drug addicts. People like me with medical issues use legal prescriptions and legal drugs. Federal law still states it is illegal.

Idk what world you live in but most people using marijuana are not drug addicts. Also, it is legal in several states without a prescription. It is also legal to leave CA with edibles.

So bc alcohol is legal it’s fine for your nanny to be a drinker? Also, abusing and overdosing on prescription drugs is a major thing happening. So your nanny could be a drug addict addicted to prescription pills. But that’s fine right? Oh the flaws in your very ignorant and misinformed logic.

I don’t think anyone working with kids should have a positive drug test. Even if it legal with prescription in some states it is illegal with the federal law.

Yeah, you don’t know the laws in other states much less federal laws. It is common knowledge at this point that marijuana is very much legal without a prescription in certain states. Please do some actual research before you post. I mean, you don’t even have a basic understanding of how to use google and knowledge of federal or state laws. Should a person like you really be working with kids?

The house (federal) passed MORE in November. Senate has not. Ergo, still illegal. Medical research with marijuana is still very difficult to get approved, due to status as an illegal drug. I’m quite aware of which states do and don’t allow it, and under what conditions. My tiny home town has FOUR businesses now dedicated to marijuana/cbd oil, while just about everything else is closing or has been gone for a while. Just because something is allowed at state level does NOT mean that it’s not still illegal at federal level. And pushing for legalization is not the same as it being legal now.

Ok so you are clearly unable to process any information that you read. Recreational marijuana is legal in CA, CO and WA. You can go to a dispensary and purchase cannabis in several different forms.

I concur.

People who smoke weed are truly losers & I wouldn’t want my child in the company of a common loser.
I would continue my Nanny search.

Did either of you even read the post? It was cannabis oil. Reading is fundamental.

Mug yeah I’m really sure it was cannobis oil. Btw I have a bridge to sell you!

You have no idea what it was. Lots of people cook with cannabis and do edibles. Not everyone is actually smoking weed. If this nanny was actually smoking weed often OP would know it bc the smell is strong. Duh. So go back under your bridge troll.

Using esbibles also makes you a loser, fyi. I guess you should go back under your pot plant. Il go back under my bridge, away from losers using marijuana.

Edibles and the like were made for folks with severe pain and issues eating and sleeping. Tons of people use the stuff recreationally, sure. But even more use it in place of high risk pharmaceutical drugs. I've personally known about half a dozen folks that were able to drop several drugs with side effects and just use medical marijuana.

I also know quite a few creatives that smoke to relax and focus on their art. They are harming no one, it is legal here, and on top of that, they are contributing to the world by creating art/music/etc.

If you drink at all, and live in a legal state, you have no horse in this race. I go to lots of parks and the issue I see isn't pot- it is opiate addiction- much of which was caused by this wonderful legal pharma painkillers we had. I think its best to focus on what is really harmful and what is pretty innocuous. Painting everyone as a loser when you don't know anyone dying of cancer or in hidden pain or disability just paints you as the loser. It's like saying, oh there are winks drinking on the street. All alcohol is bad.

I would never hire anyone that used any alcohol or drugs at work, of course. And just like the government can drug test, as well as any company, that is their choice in hiring. But the getting all bent out of shape about something that actually just makes most people relax and eat Cheetos- please.

Just my 2 cents.

I don’t use tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, caffeine, any illegal drugs or narcotics for more than 2 days. I don’t use any pain or other addictive medication if I can absolutely avoid it.

No, I don’t want to work in a house with anything that could hurt my charge. Guns and ammunition WILL be locked away in separate locations. Alcohol and all medications WILL be locked away and out of reach. Knives WILL be secured in a drawer with a child lock. Chemicals WILL be locked away.

I am NOT going to responsible for my charging getting hurt or dying due to preventable negligence. I can’t control what my employers do when I’m not with them; I can tell them how strongly I feel about the above, and that I will quit on the spot if I find any of the above. It’s in my contract, and I’ve never had someone hire me who had an issue with it.

How do you even function outside of your own home? Seriously, how are you interacting with children in the real world if you are this scared. And I’m calling you a flat out liar. No normal family would hire someone this afraid of life.

No proof. If her friend uses the oil, she chose to eat something that may have some in it. Or she smokes. Either way, it’s still illegal at a federal level. Some employers don’t care, others are sticklers. OP obviously falls more to the end of not wanting any drug use(r) anywhere near the children, and that is their prerogative.

The proof is what OP wrote. You can make your own assumptions but you know what they say about making assumptions. If they are in a state where recreational marijuana is legal and sold in dispensaries then guess what *gasp* it isn’t illegal.

OMG, of all the people in the world who could actually USE a joint! Chill out lady! Seriously, how do you function in the real world where not every detail is in your control? How do you even leave your own home?

It’s oretty sad on this thread seeing the nannies defending using drugs. I’m a nanny and I don’t care if it’s ‘legal’ in your state (but not federally), anyone who uses marijuana shouldn’t be around kids. Bad example.

It’s pretty sad seeing so many ignorant and uneducated nannies on this thread. If you don’t do marijuana in any form and know nothing about it or the laws then you shouldn’t be posting. Bad example.

Are we really debating here about a nanny who uses marijuana? The vast majority of families would prefer a non drug using nanny. Good lord, next topic please!!

Legal sure. Means you can't be arrested by the state police for appropriate use. Doesn't mean that as an employer I can't fire you or not hire you for not passing a drug test if that's stated in the contract. My sod contractor employer can and will fire me for dialing a drug test legal in the state or not. Yes in certain places it will limit the number of eligible employees and businesses will figure out where their limits are.

This wasn’t the issue. You can try to demand anything you want but you can’t control what your employee does on their free time. Your employee can also refuse to take a drug test. You can put whatever you want in your contract but you will also need to look at the laws in your state to see if it’s legal to demand drug testing. Also, will need to research the protections for your employee about drug testing.

It is legal for a employers to drug test especially with kids and cars. Lots of jobs require drug tests. Mine does. No big deal. It’s not about free time but about safety. Kids can be removed from parents for drug use. If your employee is impaired do you want them caring for your young kids?

It is illegal in the dmv without a doctors note on the state level. It is illegal on the fed level. Families with clearances would ha e a serious issue if drugs were found in their home. If a drug test is refused you get fired. Simple. Welcome to the adult employment world. If you are a professional you’d know all this.

I’ve never worked anywhere that required drug testing. So no, lots of jobs do not require drug testing. The nanny would have to give consent in order for a drug test to occur. So a family simply cannot force their nanny to take a drug test. If they tried there would be legal issues. A nanny is not a parent. Someone doing marijuana on their off time is not the same as doing it during working hours. Do you really want someone who doesn’t even understand this simple logic working with your kids?
