You are truly pathetic, OP. I feel so sorry for your poor baby.

+1. That is the first thing I thought of - that poor child.

+2. This may sound a little extreme for this thread, but morons like this remind me how annoying it is that just anyone is allowed to reproduce.

Why would anyone accept cash? I’m 30 years old and I’m not going to lie my first few jobs were cash, but after I learned that does your or society no good. I like to have proof of income in order to be able to purchase anything!

Undocumented workers have no choice. And it allows unscrupulous employers to take advantage of them.

And it allows ppl who really cannot afford a nanny think they can afford one.

If you're on a tight budget you need to rethink the nanny thing. Nannies are expensive, and costs add up, and the fact that you won't pay for this (which you absolutely should) means you're going to be a nightmare to work with.

I nannies for a family who got exemptions. It’s ridiculously, always has been in some areas.

OP, paying for immunizations/titres that you want and the nanny doesn't is just the first in a long line of expenses that you will encounter with a nanny.

You are hiring a domestic employee. In other eras, we'd still use the term "servant." The expectations are very different than they are for a professional career like nursing. The expectation is that there will be minimal expenses associated with the job for the nanny, at most buying suitable clothes (you pay if you want a uniform, or a specific type of clothing like a uniform) and bringing her lunch.

If you think you are going to pay $16/hr only for the hours the nanny works for you (no guaranteed hours, no paid vacation or sick leave, no paid holidays), you are going to be very frustrated by being a nanny employer.

The point was that it’s incredibly easy to get school exemptions, and some states don’t even ask for a reason.

I was never asked to do this. It's too much.
I wouldn't pay for them. I would find another job.

If your budget is too tight to pay for the extensive list of tests and vaccinations you insist on for a nanny you hire, then your budget is too tight to hire a nanny.

Of course, you can continue to stay on the ridiculous path you are on, but you definitely need a childcare backup plan so that you have childcare when you have to go back to work. I suggest comparing the cost of traditional daycare vs. a home based daycare. And you wil need to accept that in any sort of daycare, the owner makes the rules, and will laugh in your face if you ask about her immunization history.

This just gets better and better. You are paying a low rate, but you expect your underpaid nanny to shell out hundreds of dollars she doesn't have to satisfy YOUR requirements.

Find a daycare.

She said the whole test would run her around $500 if she needed the titer and possible vaccines. We are going to ask our pediatrican what we can get away with. For those saying we can’t afford a nanny, we live in Arlington and plan to pay $16 for one infant. I feel like that’s a good wage.

**whispers **(Please say you’re paying taxes, please say you’re paying taxes )

Op here. It’s $16 cash, not $14. We will be paying under the table. We can’t afford to pay the nanny tax. We secured another nanny - all is good!

I hope she turns you in to the IRS.

Access the grantee immunization websites. Visit the CDC’s interactive map of immunization websites, arranged by state, city and island, to find your state or local immunization or public health site. Each site may have additional information on how to locate your childhood immunization records. For example, the Georgia Department of Public Health site offers links and email addresses for the Georgia Registry of Immunization Transactions and Services, which has an incomplete – but possibly helpful – list of immunization transactions over several years.

The cost of titer test is on the employer then. No one has ever asked for all of that since we get most vaccines as children. Ask for flu shot when it’s available and whooping cough should be all that is necessary
