[quote=Anonymous]The only reason to disclose a medical condition of any sort is if you think you will need accommodations or might have a sudden episode that would affect your work or your ability to keep the children safe.

If the accommodations are that people need to be prepared for you to need time off to manage your moods, then you should expect to not be hired. Same for a physical condition for which someone suffers flare-ups. Sick leave usually covers enough days to get you through colds or something like that; if you can assume you'll use all your sick leave for your condition, you're going to leave parents wondering how much time off you're going to need.

If none of those things apply, then there is no need to disclose anything. If you have an emergency at some point, presumably you'll deal with it then.

As a MB, when a potential nanny discloses a condition, I assume it's because she knows it may affect her work or reliability, and I am now on notice about it. If she has one and doesn't tell me, well, if it's never a problem then why do I need to know?[/quote]
