[quote=Anonymous]I work full-time for 1 family.  I don't mind caring for my sick charge.  My NF also pay me very well and I don't have to work with other families.
If a family employs a nanny part-time, they absolutely owe her advance warning when a child is ill so she can decide whether to come in.  They have jeopardised OP's health and her ability to perform at her other jobs.
There is a big difference between having a part-time nanny and a full-time nanny.
As a full-time nanny, I am paid a full salary to provide a service to my employers.  They pay me enough (and provide me with sick days) so that I can dedicate all of my time and energy (health) to their child.  This includes caring for their sick child while they work.  They are basically buying this guarantee from me.  
A part-time employee is paid a part-time salary.  She is paid to provide care for children part of the time, which is reflected in her pay and lack of sick days.  Due to an employer only needing childcare for "part of the time", most nannies must work with other families to make ends meet.
When a nanny becomes sick due to an illness aqquired from a child at her part-time job, she is unable to carry out her other job responsibilities....causing her to miss out on pay from other sources.
A part-time nanny doesn't owe you anything.[/quote]
