[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My bosses have me come to work when their children are sick and don't even have the decency to tell me until I walk in the door. Next thing you know, I'm sick and have no sick days. Frustrating...[/quote]

If its something beyond a cold and contagious, I would say "Oh LO has _______? Since I dont have any paid sick days, I hope you understand why I can't risk getting sick. Is there anything I can pick up for you before I head home?"

[/quote]

Out of curiosity, seriously not meant to be rude, would you ACTUALLY say that?

Young nanny here, finding myself the doormat in a lot of situations. Is that actually something you can say? I know it's okay to stand up for yourself, but exactly how forward can you be? Not trying to hijack the thread, but since you said it...[/quote]

I'm the PP who said I don't have any sick days. Personally, I wouldn't speak to my bosses like that. I've been nannying for many years and would never want to disrespect the people who employ me. If a child has a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, etc I personally believe a parent should be home with their child and not exposing their nanny to the germs. A cold is another issue but even that sucks to be honest. [/quote]
