[quote=Anonymous]I have been a Nanny for an adorable three-yr old little boy over a year now.

He was pretty sick this past Friday, fever, severe congestion + cough, vomiting and lack of energy.

I have a trip/vacation coming up on Monday w/my entire family.
We will be spending a wk up in the mountains for Christmas - a long-awaited family reunion of sorts.

Well since watching him was only three days prior to the day that I am going to fly out for my trip, I elected not to work on Friday after hearing how sick my charge was because I didn’t want to risk falling ill so close to it.

I was honest & explained this all to my bosses.
They both had important meetings at work that day (they told me) and really needed me to watch their son.

They both told me that the reason they hired a Nanny (vs. putting their son into a daycare) is so that they can have childcare for him even when he is very sick.
If I didn’t have this trip planned I would have risked getting sick however this time I didn’t want to risk it.

I don’t think other Nannies would have risked getting sick so close to an important trip.
I am seriously reconsidering working for this family when I return.
Their attitude was selfish.[/quote]
