[quote=Anonymous]If you were my nanny, I probably wouldn't give you the day off either.  I need help when I'm sick.   My nanny is awesome, and would probably recognize that the kids just want me, and would offer to do other things around the house that I can't do while I am cooped up sick with the kiddos.

Maybe you could offer to do some errands like grocery shopping, dry cleaning, pick up kids homework from school, return and check out books from the library, go to the post office, pick up and wrap some gifts for birthday parties.  It might be helpful to fill out the paperwork and sign the kids up for spring sports, spend some time on the computer researching summer camps (and show the parents what you found), find some fun ways to play inside when the kids are out of their beds, but still not feeling well.  Go shopping for craft supplies and some things to play outside when the weather gets better.  Prepare non-perishable foods in containers so you can grab and go with kids lunches.
  
At the house, you could go through kids clothes and get rid of what doesn't fit.  Make a list of how many pairs of pants, socks, shirts they have so that it's easy to know what they need more of.  Organize children's book shelves and craft supplies.  Organize the playroom and get rid of toys that are broken or never played with.  Wash kids clothes and sheets (if that's part of your job).

Also, still make breakfast and lunch for the kids.  It sucks to cook for other people when you are sick yourself.  Even if they are your children.
