[quote=Anonymous]Literally, ever since October, the kids I nanny has been sick and I understand when working in close contact with children this will happen. This week, I returned to work this week and was told that one of the kids had food poison but later (the next day) found out it was more a stomach virus because the other child and father started to vomit. During this time, I expressed that I would prefer not to work while they are sick since both kids are just laying in bed. I do not do anything outside of caring for the kids and as many of you know when kids are sick, they just want their parents who were both home.. So the following day I returned to work to find out the dad and other child was sick as stated above and this is after I expressed if the first child was still sick, I would prefer to come I work on Friday.. Now 3 of them are sick. The mom was steady preparing for a dinner party... Completely ignoring that three people in her home had a stomach virus or the flu! It wasn't until midday when she started to feel sick that she canceled the party! Again, I understand when working in close contact with kids this can happen, but in an instance where both parents were home and she requested me to come in to work and refusing to even pay sick leave if I get sick just isn't fair. This has been going on all winter, I've never been this sick in my life. I'm just praying I don't catch whatever they have b/c I can't afford to miss work. Has anyone else dealt with this and what do you do? No, the mom never tells me anything so i dont't know who's sick until I arrive To work. [/quote]
