[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like if you have mental health issues it's better to quit and seek treatment. There are many services that offer support for these kind of issues plus you should qualify for disability. Once your issues are resolved or under control you can seek employment. Also you are not obliged to tell current employers about this but be aware that your  HCP can notify them if it's determined that you may be capable of harm to yourself or them. [/quote]
Having anxiety does not mean she is suicidal or wants to hurt others! Please know what you are talking about.
Why should she quit a job she likes just to go to the doctor once a week? How does she support herself and pay the doctor bills with no job?[/quote]

While I agree with your first point, unfortunately, being a nanny isn’t the type of job that you can just leave early once a week. If the schedule is 8-5 then I expect the nanny to work the agreed upon hours. Being hired for the position means that is the coverage needed. If your employer has to now either find coverage for you or take the time off themselves that presents an issue for them. It’s easier to just find a new nanny. Op doesn’t have to quit but she will most likely be fired. [/quote]

Please shut up!  It might not work for you but as a nanny who has worked many years, there is definitely flexibility in this field!  You may be the parent who doesn’t allow your nanny to use leave, want them to tell why the need time off and only offer 1 week of their chosen. [/quote]

I’m the PP you are responding to. You work with children with all that hostility? Hmmm...You do need a therapist ASAP and a reality check. I’m a nanny btw and no this field is not all that flexible. Flexibility means letting your boss know on Monday that you will not be there Wednesday and it not being an issue. Most families need at least a week notice in order to confirm back up care. You can act like your boss would be ok with you leaving early every week and maybe they will, but in reality most would not be ok with that situation. Hence why the hours are set. I stand by what I said, OP doesn’t have to quit, but know it’s easier to find a new nanny and fire the nanny who can no longer commit to the schedule. [/quote]

Op here again 
Most MB/DBs who work out of the home need a consistent nanny which is understandable 
[b]The only nanny jobs that are flexible are those who have a stay at home parent[/b]. At least in my experience [/quote]

Yes and no.  A SAH or WAH parent may be more flexible, but that doesn't mean it's not inconvenient for them to have to accommodate schedule changes, especially if the request comes last minute.  Even if it's a request made a week in advance, it's still highly inconvenient unless the parents have solid back-up options.  The difference between SAH and WOH parents is that for the WOHP, it might be like moving mountains to have to accommodate while for the SAHP, it's not as difficult, but still a PITA (calling around to cancel and change appointments) to do so.  So the SAHP might be able to be more flexible, but that doesn't mean that s/he won't be very annoyed by it.[/quote]
