[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course I deduct them from her sick days.  Figuring out whose fault it is that someone got sick isn't really a game I want to play.  [/quote]

OP here. I think this is a good point. I'm concerned about the precedent this sets. She could claim in the future that the kids got her sick and expect to be paid for missing more work. Right now I have no reason to believe she'd do that, but you never know.

In terms of "fault," I was also thinking it could be the nanny's fault that my son got sick in the first place, like not washing his hands after a trip to the park or something. Again, not like I suspect something, but it's a possibility so playing the fault game is probably a bad idea.[/quote]

Or a child coughed or sneezed on your son.  Or your son touched something in the grocery store.   Or the germs were airborne during an activity with other toddlers and preschoolers.   Young children get sick frequently, it's how their immune systems develop.[/quote]
