[quote=Anonymous]What is your policy when it comes to watching children when they're sick? At my first ever nanny job I didn't even think to have a sick care policy and the parents took advantage of that. I would show up to work and find out all 3 kids had the flu. I was stupid and needed the job to pay for school so I dealt with it. I ended up quitting after I got to work the week before I was suppose to leave for vacation to three kids with the stomach flu. I told the parents I refused to chance getting sick and missing my sister's wedding and basically walked out. (Side note: in general they were Very inconsiderate employers but at the time I was too naive to realize that a nanny should be treated like an employee and not a long term babysitter). My current family is wonderful and we agreed to a sick care policy that is in our contact. Basically if the kids are vomiting, infectious or running a fever over 101° the parents must contact me by 6AM and I don't come in.[/quote]
