[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, if MB and DB are both working from home today why did they need you to come in? I don't understand parents who have no interest in taking care of their sick children. And then when you get sick, will they be angry it you need a sick day?[/quote]

They are WORKING from home.[/quote]

Yes but generally, and I am sure most nannies have experienced this, "working from home" is rarely exclusively that, especially if a parent usually goes into an office. I have been in the same situation and it is incredibly frustrating.  I could understand if you had an important meeting or a deadline or something else equally important and unable to make up, but really, if you have two kids that are really sick-and you are HOME with them-you don't want to be taking care of them yourself? Why again do people have children if they only want to deal with the fun stuff?  I know, I know, though, nanny should just be grateful she has a job and deal with it, that is why she is paid for after all...sad.[/quote]

When I work from home I have scheduled phone meetings, I can do my other work on my own schedule. When I need to be in my office with the door closed, childcare is needed. [/quote]

I understand that you have scheduled things during the day.  However, in OP's situation both MB and DB were home.  You can't honestly tell me that between the two of them, they were unable to care for their sick children? I get that they have hired someone to do it for them, I just don't understand not wanting to do it yourself....[/quote]
