[quote=Anonymous]This will seem like a silly question but here goes: I was a PT nanny for a family for a while, until my schedule filled up and I couldn't offer them any more weekday hours. Instead, I've been doing two Saturdays a month - 3pm-10pm for a date night kind of deal. I adore the kids, the parents are lovely, and it suits my schedule to have a little extra income.

HOWEVER, literally every time I have babysat for them in the past three months, I've gotten a cold within 24 hours. I cannot afford, physically or mentally, to get sick so often, and I rarely do otherwise (I never catch anything from my FT charge, even though he is often sick).

So I need to stop working for them, I think, but I'm not sure what to say. I don't want to tell them their house is too full of germs, but because this is a regular thing, scheduled out for the next several months in advance (1st and 3rd Sat of every month), I do need to say something. Pretending my schedule is full will only work once or twice, then it will become clear that I'm avoiding them and I don't want them to worry about why.

Gah, so basically I feel really bad and don't know what to say to them. Thoughts?[/quote]
