[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are into week 2 with our nanny and he has missed 5 days already. The first week we gave her a pass because her stuff was nearly destroyed in a flooding we had. She missed 1.5 days ( came in the next day for a couple hours). This week she got hit with the flu after getting her flu shot and has been out all week. I told her to stay home since her temp is still high. She came very highly recommended by a couple in the neighborhood. She had amazing references and we did a background check. The most important is she has been amazing with our baby. We do feel like she is the right fit but I'm getting worried about reliability. I go back to work next week and we have no family in town to cover. We know you can't help being sick but would it be fair to issue a warning or let her go?[/quote]

I agree you might want to give this time, qualified nannies are hard to find. Remember nannies are people and they do get sick, also you did tell her to stay home. Did she get the flu shot on her own or was it a request? As for the flood part, this is devastating to experience. What kind of warning would you issue, you are not aloud to get sick? If you really are thinking of letting your nanny go for these reasons then you should and yes it is understandable with your concern to going back to work. But what are you going to say to a future nanny, that they cannot get sick.[/quote]
