[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- she has sick days and I'm not sick day shaming. Take the leave and get better. I'm also not mad because I don't have a backup plan. And yes- she is not responsible for my backup plan.
However- as a mom, as soon as a nanny calls out sick my mind starts racing. I need to call the sitters, MIL, boss ect. I don't have time to spend on the phone talking about your guilt.[/quote]

I totally agree.  "Ok.  Hope you feel better soon."  That's pretty much what I say when our nanny calls in sick an hour before she's scheduled to arrive.  I immediately need to start triaging the day and figure out a plan.

THere's no shaming of the nanny - we are all human.  But there is an immediate, and potentially significant, impact on my house and everyone else depending on us.

And one day, versus 3-5 consecutive days straddling a weekend, when each day is a question mark in terms of the nanny coming to work, is a pretty diffierent scenario in terms of stress, planning and strain on everyone involved.

So I totally get it OP.
