[quote=Anonymous]This boils down to more of an honesty issue, not just reliability. Based on all these recent posts, if you are a nanny applying for a new job and you have a pending medical issue looming that will need to be dealt with and requires significant time off it is simply dishonest to not inform your NF during the interview. It is a lie to sit there and say you pride yourself on reliability and rarely take time off or get sick.

You may feel it is none of their business, and if it was an office job you would be right. But this is a nanny job, you are an integral part of a small family who likely can't easily continue to function or replace you. You con't take a hardline "I'm a professional" stance when considering sharing personal information with your employer and then want all kind of personal considerations for time off for medical issues, getting to run home to change your clothes in the middle of the work day, expecting to keep your job after missing work for car troubles time and time again, asking your employer for a loan, etc.[/quote]
