[quote=Anonymous]I am interested in other parent's thoughts on my dilemma:

I have a 22 month old who has been with the same nanny since she was a baby. We love our nanny, and so does our daughter. But the problem is that our nanny takes a ton of sick time. For example, for the last five months she has taken at least one sick day a month (she texted us the morning off to tell us). This is in addition to an entire two weeks off on two separate occasions in the last year and half because of sickness.

We don't doubt that she is really sick when she takes the day off. For a while we thought maybe she is just going through a bad phase, but it does not seem to end.

We have 0 backup and last minute time off throws our whole day in a loop. We have never penalized our nanny for sick time (she goes well over her allotted 5 days a year of course)  because she is really a wonderful nanny.

Ideally we would have liked to put our daughter in preschool at age 3. But because of our nanny's constant time off , we are considering putting in in day care/preschool this summer (will will be just over 2). I am however concerned that once she goes to day care, she will start getting sick every month and it will come to the same thing.

I would love to hear your thoughts. Any advise appreciated. [/quote]
