[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She cares about you only insofar as what you can do for her and if you are sick then you can't do as much for her as she wants.  She is probably already interviewing for your replacement so be prepared to get thevheabe ho very soon

Nannies, you are employees not friends.  It is a job, nothing more.[/quote]

MB here. My last nanny wasn't ill but she was pregnant. We let her take our kid to all her obgyn appointments on the clock, let her off early at least twice a week during her third trimester so she could rest, gave her 12 weeks of paid leave after she had her baby while paying for a back up nanny while she was out for those 12 weeks, she came back and quit 2 weeks later. I did all this because I cared about her and considered her to be more than an employee. Boy was I stupid. Never again. Nannies are employees and not friends![/quote]

It’s better to be the person who gets taken advantage of because you are too giving than be the person who is cold and only thinks about themselves. Obviously, with most everything, there is a spectrum, but let your lesson be to put contingencies in the contract, not to be cold hearted. Good for you for being a caring human!  Sorry that you were taken advantage of. Most people would not consider taking advantage of our employers’ generosity!

OP, is your illness affecting your job AT ALL?  That may be the issue. And now that your employers know that it is permanent they will likely need to look for a replacement if you cannot perform at the level you were hired to perform at.  Or she may be uncomfortable talking about your illness for whatever reason, and that is perfectly acceptable. She’s not your mom, she’s your boss. [/quote]
