[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would they have done if you got sick from their kid and then couldn't come to work? I understand that a perk of a nanny is to not have to stay home every time your kid has a fever or a cough, but if they are really sick, why would you want your nanny to get sick too??[/quote]

I reread the OP and I think the reasons the responses on this are so divided is because people are not getting the main gist of the post.
The OP stated that normally she would go in to her job but considering she has a special trip to go to she didn’t want to risk getting ill.

……..
OP, for your bosses to get so up in arms over you not coming in speaks volumes (VOLUMES!) on their overall characters.
For them to make you feel guilt over not wanting to care for their fever/vomiting child just a few days prior to taking your trip is just insane as well as outrageous here.
Like many nanny employers they seem to forget that you are a human being, a human being who has her own life and family to think about.
You have every right to enjoy a nice vacation with your family, healthy without worrying about getting them infected.

Don’t ever let anyone make you feel guilt over wanting this for yourself.
When a child is that sick, they need to be cared for by a parent not a nanny.
No meeting at work is ever more important than the health of my child.

Your employers sound like not only horrible bosses but horrible parents as well.[/quote]
