[quote=Anonymous]Here's my advice to, OP and to future nannies posters who are sick or find it difficult to get to work on time:

1. At the first sign of illness let your employer know you might not be in don't wait to the last minute even if they have a back up they need time to get the back up plan in motion.  After extended time off ( more than a day) Bring in a doctor's note. This isn't unreasonable, and professionals and people that take their work seriously do it all the time.

2. If you live in part of the country where it snows every winter it should not surprise you when it snows in the winter. 6+ inches of snow is not uncommon in certain regions of the country, and these snowstorms are not a surprise. Talk with your employer how you will handle this.
Is bad weather an automatic day off?  Can you spend the night? Is a 1 hour delay acceptable?  etc etc.

If you need to come in and don't want to sleep over plan accordingly.  This might mean you need to start your morning commute 1 , 2 or 3  hours earlier.This will mean you need to start your day earlier.

3. No one is perfect. Misunderstandings and miscommunications  will happen. Adults do not quit the first time one of these occur. Learn to talk things out. Problem solving will go a long way in life in your career as a nanny or in any other field or relationship you may pursue
