[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here- You should talk with her about getting sick so frequently. Maybe she has some health problems and needs to see a doctor to get checked out. Stress and depression run down the immune system, and many other non-psychological reasons such as hormonal imbalances, etc.  I get sick often as well. However, I have not had to call in to miss work because of a cold, minor illness or injury, etc. Now if I was running a temp, had strep, or some other indicator that I was infectious and not able to work, I would give my MB/DB a heads up the night before that I'm not feeling well, see if I can make it through the night, then update them promptly the next morning if I KNOW my illness is going to leave me unable to work. That's the courteous thing to do to your employers. Also, maybe she's not really sick, but just doesn't feel like working and thinks this is a job where she can call off whenever. WRONG. Parents depend on us nannies, and we depend on the parents. It's a mutual relationship that works both ways. Voice your concerns with her and be honest. [/quote]
