[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay MB's then what do you do when your nanny gets sick from your children? If you can't possibly ever, ever miss work, you should have a back up nanny on hand.

No one is saying that they don't. Requiring a nanny to care for sick children does not automatically equate to not giving a nanny sick leave, interesting that you made that leap though. [/quote]

There are people who do it. Trust me, I've had the misfortune of working for them. I accepted a job without sick leave because I was desperate, and honestly I just don't get sick. Fast forward to flu season, literally a few days per week someone in that family was home sick. Coughing sneezing puking in my work space. I was so sick that winter it was insane. They did not pay me for a single sick day, even though I got sick caring for them and their sick kids in their house of germs. [/quote]
Of course people do it, in every industry (and people get sick from co-workers in every industry). PP, however, was trying to assert that it is a given that if nannies are required to work with sick kids, they are also not being given sick leave themselves. This is very rarely the case. [/quote]
