[quote=Anonymous]Because of the latest "sick nanny" thread, I thought I'd bump this with an update.

I had a talk with our nanny and gave her an extra half day off to coordinate doctors' appointments. I also made it clear that I didn't want her driving with a headache. That was two months ago.

This is the first time she has had health insurance, so there have been a lot of appointments. She is working hard to make them very early or very late, or on days we're away, so that's good, and she's planning in advance, also good. So, hopefully all the tests and referrals will pay off for her and her health. She's 25; I feel badly for her having to deal with all of this at what should be her healthiest time of life.

The benefit to me is that she is taking all of this seriously instead of just suffering and not doing well at work. She has also cut the complaining about symptoms by about 75%, probably because she could tell I was nearing the end of my patience with the "down" days.

She is doing all of this and staying within her PTO (she's even taken some "fun" days over the last month or so), so so far, I would say this is resolving well for us both.[/quote]
