[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. She is not from a different culture, way to speculate and run with it! She is 25 has been working with us for 6 months. I don't care if she has sick time off, as long as she gives us proper notice. My last nanny who left to have a family, used all of her sick time, and it didn't bother me as she notified us with reasonable time, meaning not day of or night before work like 9 and down, when its nearly impossible to find back up.

So what is a nanny supposed to do if she goes to sleep feeling fine, and then wakes up 2 hours before she is supposed to be at work and realizes that she feels like crap, starts to vomit while attempting to get ready for work, etc? This would be last minute, it's not something that could not be helped either. She felt fine the night before (in my example), she cannot give you advance notice by the afternoon/evening the day before. You have to be ready for situations like that, where you get practically no notice because that does happen sometimes. I will give notice the evening before if I know I am too sick (like I still have a fever or vomiting that afternoon) but not everything starts off in a timely manner for you.[/quote]

I agree with this...what do you think then, OP? I'm honestly curious b/c I actually was on your side up until your second post that included your "guidelines" for sick days. To be honest, I have never in my life suddenly come down with the flu or anything like that but obviously many people have, and do. Do you really expect her future sickness germs to think, "hmm, I better start attacking nanny's immune system early today so she can let MB know by 9 pm!" Silly, I know, but clearly not a realistic expectation on your part.

Carseat thing, however, WOULD really annoy me, too.[/quote]
