[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop trying to make her open up.  Would it make a difference in how it affects YOUR missing work, if she told you what her diagnosis is, and that she needs treatment 1-2 times a month? No. It's none of your business.

Just hire someone else.[/quote]

OP here. If you need treatment you schedule that at least a few days in advance, so yes it would make a difference because I could arrange backup care for those days. Calling in sick at 7am for an 8am shift leaves us high and dry since most sitters can't come at the last minute like that.

And she has been the only nanny my DC has ever known over 2 years, so I'm also considering how much my child loves her in not wanting to summarily dismiss her.[/quote]

Your child will be fine.  Obviously you'd let her say goodbye to the kids.  There's no need to be bitchy about needing to fire someone because they've become unreliable.  I am confused as to why you don't just say to her, "We really love the relationship you have with the kids. But we need someone reliable, and calling out an hour before you're expected really leaves us in a bind.  Are your sick days a situation where you wake up feeling ill, or are these for doctor appointments, where you could let us know a few days ahead of time, so we could plan to be home? "  Then go from there.[/quote]
