[quote=Anonymous]My nanny is a very courteous and respectful nanny and sometimes I think she doesn't even realize she might over do it, and in trying to be tactful she is tactless. I give her sick time but with appreciated advance noticed because otherwise I'm screwed. The other day she complained of feeling like she might be coming down with something, she said she felt fine but just "felt" like she might get sick. I told her as long as she gives me notice we can try and find a replacement while she's sick. She ends up coming down something minor, and did claim she could work but she felt it was right if she stayed home and rested. This would be fine if she gave me a heads up, but I had to pry it out of her and she eventually told me via text that she thinks staying home is in the interest of our child, she doesn't want him to get sick. But then she said it was doable and to 'see you in the morning', then I get a text 4 hours later that she does not want to put my child in harms way and thinks its best she stays home, but she did not give me enough time to find a replacement. So annoyed it was a pita to find ones, and come to find out she did not have anything contagious she admitted maybe resting 'helped' relieve whatever she thought she might have had or pass on. So really she was just being overly cautious to the point of freaking me out because I had to scramble for a replacement since I didn't get notified on time since she kept changing her mind about it! Then the week before, she had to take our eldest DD to Montessori and her car seat is kinda hard to get on and I offered to place it for her, but again not trying to be in the way she said 'I can do it'. She ended not being able to handle it and the texted, 'I don't feel safe driving charge to school, think its best we stay home, couldn't adjust car seat'. The thing is that DD had to be at school, her dad was going to get her for an appointment right after, staying home screwed everything up, we live opposite of school, husbands work and appointment location. It was suppose to be something so simple. She has used car seats before, not sure why this one was SOOOO difficult. I know she meant well, but it really ended up screwing things up. So I'm annoyed and need to vent! [/quote]
