[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] taken all three DC to the Pediatrician solo and made some pretty significant decisions about the course of their health care[/quote]

OP this is very odd. Do the kids have medical conditions or special needs?  What medical decisions have you had to make in the past few weeks? I have to say that as a mom I honestly have not encountered any significant decisions about the course of their health care. (I'm assuming that you are not taking it on yourself to decide to delay vaccines or something crazy like that?) Peds will let a nanny bring a child in for a check up or a sick visit but they are not going to let a non-guardian make a significant health care decision. Legally unless the parents gave you some sort of joint guardianship you can't even do this.

Visiting preschools sounds OK. While a good number of people in DC look at preschool as if it were the college application/admission process all about them, it is just preschool. If you have any past preschool teaching or ECE experience, the parents think you may have better insight into which schools are best for the kids. [/quote]

If they write a note declaring that you can give medical decisions, then you can. I have always had something like this for when I was watching overnight, just in case we had to go to the ER for something and parents couldn't get there or be reached by phone quickly enough.[/quote]
