[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. Very newly pregnant. Haven’t even been to doctor yet. Wondering how soon I should tell my employers? Would love to hear from nannies and employers both.

I know you’re “not supposed” to tell anyone until the 12 week mark but here are my thoughts so far:

—hard to hide being completely exhausted or (hopefully not) super sick while everyone is working from home 
—won’t have to “make excuses” for doc appts (I’m older, so might be more often than usual) 
—Covid concerns and need to discuss expectations/what I’m comfortable or not comfortable with 
—enough heads up to make plans for when baby comes 
—plan for this cold and flu season (knock on wood...kids and parents always get sick and I rarely do anymore...but don’t feel as comfortable providing sick care this winter with everything else that’s going on)

Only downside I see would be if something happens to the pregnancy, but even then-I’d likely need (or want) some time off to handle that, and I’m sure they’d be more forgiving/understanding if they knew exactly what was going on.
