[quote=thewildbaby]I always check. If I know a child is sick or teething, etc., I'll ask in the morning and MB/DB will typically tell me to medicate as necessary and keep the log updated. For things that come on suddenly I will call or text for permission before dosing. If I couldn't reach the parents and it was something serious, like a high fever, I would call the child's pediatrician and get the okay from her. If for some reason all the phones were down, yes I would use my best judgment; that's why they hired me!

OP, I think you and your nanny are just not on the same page and it doesn't have to be any kind of serious issue. Just thank her for keeping an eye on DC's temperature and using her judgment to medicate and bring the fever down and ask her to please get in touch with you or DH in the future before medicating. Then explain your contingency plan if you and DH are both unreachable - what you'd like her to do in that case - and ask if she's comfortable with all of it. Problem solved![/quote]
