[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you told her not to come in, how is that her fault? IMO, she has taken one sick day and was instructed to stay home the second time.

That said, smart employers can offer a bit of grace and some flexibility and then see whether those kindness are returned. So if you run late one night, and your Nanny shrugs it off, or if you need her to come in a bit early and she does so, you can feel assured your relationship is one of mutual give and take.

Your friends may choose to hold a hardline attitude, and then wonder why their nannies refuse to be flexible.

I know who I would choose to work for, and it's not your friends. [/quote]

She has definitely been flexible. I was late twice ( 2 hours once) and she said " Don't worry. You got home safe. That's all that matters". She has also helped out with washing some dishes, folded our laundry, ran errands, and straightened up. That's been almost daily since she started. Not to mention, my baby loves her and she is amazing with my child. She also doesn't mind that DB works from home FT and I work from home PT. Most nannies didn't like that but she hasn't had an issue with it. We get along on a personal level. [/quote]
