[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Again :)

1. Thank you PP - My sentiments exactly on how it was a winter storm. I expect her to be sick tomorrow as well. 
2. To the nanny on here who called me a troll trying to rile people - you must have the day off to be going back and attacking the MBs
3. To the nanny who said we are bat shit crazy women. Do you know the pressure we're under at some of our jobs ? How in corporate America it's still not looked favorably upon to call in with a "my nanny called in sick " so I can't work either today or "sorry that's my kid screaming in the background during this conference call".   It's worse than when schools are closed, but this time, you get disapproval from your other co-workers for not having your daycare situation together.

To all the MBs:
One of the worst feelings when you hire someone to take care of your child is that first sign they give you that it might not work work out. Your heart drops and think - Damn. Just when I was in the clear. " And you start the search again unwillingly - because you REALLY wanted it to work out and worse yet, you have to start the trusting process all over again.

This woman came highly recommended and because of that I was giving her the benefit of the doubt, except that I thought: she texted me, never bothered to call (that's impolite), and on top of that texted me to tell me she would let me know what her doctor said so I would know what her plans were tomorrow. Yeah, didnt hear from her either.

Luckily , we are in a trial period (no sick days now until we were supposed to start her contract on Jan1 ) . Then she would get the standard package.[/quote]
