[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I just need to vent and someone to talk me down from the ledge.  I work from home, and a nanny comes in for a little more than half a day to watch my 2 year old while I work.  She is sick today, but came in.  She was sick yesterday as well, and told me about an hour after coming in that she wasn't feeling well, and asked if she could go home, so I sent her home.  I have a ton of work to get done this week, so I although I'm grateful she came in today, but if I knew she were that sick, I would have preferred to arrange for back up care.  I told her she could watch a little tv with my 2 year old if that would make her day go easier.  Well it's been nearly 4 hours, and they've been sitting on the couch watching tv non-stop ALL DAY.  I guess I wasn't explicit, but I can barely concentrate on my work because I'm thinking about how much tv my kid is watching.  I guess you could say we are pretty conservative with her screen time - we limit it to 30 minutes to an hour a day at most.  I feel like whisking my kid up to my office and letting her sit and do a puzzle or something while I work, while the nanny naps.  I feel like that would be time better spent.  If I don't say anything now, there will probably be another hour and a half of tv watching today, which I'm not cool with.  Should I say something?

Also, while I do plan to pay her for yesterday when she went home sick, and today as well - I wanted to get an opinion on whether this is expected/standard?[/quote]
