[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks for the replies.  If we were interviewing her and she said she was not comfortable bringing DCs outside if there were bees around, we would not have hired her.  But that doesn't mean we are willing to lose her either.  I'm trying to come up with some sort of compromise.

She doesn't stay at parks/playgrounds when she is the only adult, but I will suggest that maybe she talk to one of the mom/nanny friends she has around here about the situation and the possible need for help/the epi-pen.  Perhaps that will make it better if she knows someone is with her who understands the situation and is able to act accordingly.

I was also thinking of offering to pay for her to go see my allergist (her husband's insurance is out of network for this doctor) because he was incredible with helping me get past the fears associated with my allergy.  Just have to figure out a way to word it that does not sound rude and patronizing.

We love her and she's a great nanny, but if we can't figure out a solution to this that makes both of us comfortable, I really don't think I can let my son be kept inside all spring/summer because of bees.  I'm fine if it isn't as much as we'd like, but not at all just isn't realistic.

Oh and to another PP, she wasn't always allergic to bees.  it seems to be a late onset allergy as she said she's been stung in the past and has never had swelling or hives. [/quote]
