[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I strongly disagree that it is fine to have your nanny come in to work if the child is ill. Schools and daycares don't allow the presence of sick children since they do not want anyone to be purposely exposed to any form of illness.

Why would any parent purposely expose another individual around their unwell young child?? The less I'll people around the better. Plus there is never a guarantee that the person will make a full recovery.[/quote]

17.38, 22.23 here.  If a child is sick, the nanny has usually been exposed prior to the child developing symptoms.  Daycares and schools don't want children who are sick so that CHILDREN are not exposed; most adults who work with children are sick a lot the first 1-3 years, and then don't get sick very much.  With a nanny, keeping the child home (so as not to expose other children) is easy; maybe the child misses part-time preschool or classes, but it isn't a big deal.  Most parents prefer to stay with their children if there are high fevers, vomiting or diarrhea, but parents can't take off work for every sniffle, nor should they.  Flu can last over a week, and there's no reason for a nanny who has already been exposed to stay home more than a day or two, especially when the child isn't vomiting or having diarrhea.[/quote]
