[quote=Anonymous]Our wonderful nanny has missed almost two weeks due to a very bad case or mono.  She was sickly a few weeks ago and we sent her home early to go to the doctors fearing it was COVID or flu.  She was diagnosed with Mono on the 20th and we tried to have her return this past Monday.  Our pediatrician said the risk for our kids was minimal and it was pretty rare for us to get mono at our age.  Said it’s mostly bad for the 12-22 crowd.  Our nanny is 20.

She stayed two hours.  She had clearly lost a significant amount of weight and was very very weak.  DH ended up driving her home because we did not think she could safely drive.

We don’t know what to do.  Google says it can take some people weeks or not months to recover.  We had my mother help but she cannot continue as nanny recovers.  Nanny has PTO but those days are running out.  We can’t afford to pay her and find a temp sitter as she recovers.  We also don’t want to lose current nanny and I feel super bad for her.  She is financially totally independent and has no one to really help her financially (really and home life growing up).

I can hope she is better by next week, but if not I need a plan.  Has anyone been in a similar situation?  What did you do? [/quote]
