[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most jobs that require driving also require regular drug testing. That's not something anyone thinks is appropriate in a nanny/employer relationship, so that means I have to trust you when you say you're on a "low dose" of something. That makes me uncomfortable if you're on benzos for anxiety or opioids for pain.

So my suggestion is don't disclose any health conditions or medications. If they never affect your work, everything is fine.

The other good thing about that is that I can't pass you over for having a medical condition, because I won't know about it.[/quote]

Have you ever taken a drug test? I’m guessing you haven’t or at least haven’t when prescribed a medication they test for. I could go in to a place and take one right now and pass even though I take opioids. As long as the person has a prescription and within the acceptable levels based on their dosage and the time it was taken which can show its being abused or not, they will pass and the employer will only know they passed the drug test. Due to HIPAA they wouldn’t be able to disclose that the person is taking prescribed medication [/quote]

Yep.

And some nannies are fine with drug testing.  I know I’m fine with it provided it doesn’t cost me anything, I’m paid for my time, I get a copy of the results, and the testing is done by a reputable lab.[/quote]
