[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny who lives away from my family.  I am closest with my grandmother and this past year she has had some serious problems and was in ER a few times.  I was always prepared to go home, but only if she was on her death bed.  If I would have run home every time, my employers would have had no choice but to replace me.  If I lived closer to my grandmother, I would have spent as much time with her as possible, though I would not have called in every time she went to hospital. Nanny/employer relationship is different than a typical job and there should be room for compassion on both sides.  If my employers had a death on the family, I would do as much as possible to accommodate their needs.  I do not work a typical 9-5 job.  Having some leeway is appropriate.  Although, as with any job, there is a limit!  The question here is... Have these been emergency cases?  Did she have to be there or could se have gone after work?  Is she worried that her mother is going to die and she won't be there when it happens?  If so, then how will she handle living away from her family?  [/quote]
