[quote=Anonymous]We are first time parents and don't know what to do. We see in the first month and out nanny had missed 5 days. The first two were for the flu, the second strep throat, and this time she has a ovarian cyst rupture. 3 out if the 5 times she notified and gave the option of coming in. We told her to stay home. The other two ( yesterday and strep) she elected to stay home and go to the hospital. I work from home so there hasn't been too much issues with her calling out except for once. We are trying our best to sympathize because we know everyone gets sick. Two of these days are unpaid and we know she isn't faking it.

She has been a really great nanny. Our DS loves her a lot and she has been helpful with staying late and doing extra around the house during naps. Thw first time we interviewed we clicked and after the amazing first week, I had the " it feels right" feeling. She sent a text this morning apologizing for the inconveniences and reassured us she hit a bad luck streak but is commited to this job. She has flowing references and they all spoke on her high reliability and never calling out sick ( we specifically asked). We are trying to figure out if we should replace her or chalk it up to the "bad streak" and keep her. If it is a bad streak we would hate to lose her but if it isn't, we can't keep excusing absences. Right now is kind of a gamble and we are on the fence with which way to go. [/quote]
