The last 3 PPS must be very  young nannies or new to the nanny world.

Kids get sick it happens.

It's not always possible to get a text off in the morning.

If a kid being sick throws you off your game that much that you need  time in the morning to prepare for it perhaps you should not be a nanny.

Cancelling a playdate takes no time at all. Same goes for hanging out with your friend and her newborn

What nanny doesn't bring spare clothes with them?

Yes a text is nice, but it is hardly an egregious offence.[/quote]

I'm one of the 3 PPs you're referring to.  You're quite a ways off.  I've been doing this for well over 10 years.
I can handle any situation you throw at me, warning or not. 
Yes, you can cancel a playdate in no time, but it's always better to give the other party as much notice as possible so they can adjust their plans.
It's not an egregious offense, but the people I choose to work for are thoughtful and taking 5 seconds to send me a text is just them extending the same courtesy and respect I offer them.
Perhaps you should rethink your position.[/quote]

One of the aforementioned PPs as well and close to 10 years of experience here. Perhaps it's the experienced nannies who expect their bosses to extend them basic courtesies and the newer nannies who are comfortable taking whatever is thrown at them. 
Regardless, we all have our phones withing an arms reach most of the time. It's just as easy to text a sick kid heads up as it is to cancel a play date or plans. Why do employers get to be the ones excused here?[/quote]
