[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the biggest benefits of having a nanny is that you don't have to miss work for a sick kid (like you would with daycare).  The nanny should absolutely be able to watch them while sick and follow med instructions. [/quote]

I’m a nanny and I don’t care for sick children. We handle illness like a daycare or school would. I’m off work with pay until the child is well and I return.  [/quote]

Thanks a bunch.  While you are on leave with pay, we grandparents get called on to do your job because DS and DIL have to do their jobs in order to keep them (and pay you).  And sometimes, that means that we get sick.  At our age, it can hit a littler harder and last a little longer.  [/quote]

I’m sorry they call you. You do have the right to say no and they also have the option of paying a backup sitter instead of calling you. After battling cancer and chemotherapy, I have to be mindful of my health so I can stay alive for MY children. So you getting sick could hit harder/last a little longer as you pointed out- however for me it could be deadly and that’s not a risk I’m taking. [/quote]

I wish you the best, PP, but childcare is not the right profession for you.  Children are little germ-bags and working parents need the coverage when the child gets one of the six colds, on average, that they get every year. [/quote]

This is my calling-  again I’m upfront with the parents during the interview process. I’ve been a nanny close to 25 years and have no intentions of stopping anytime soon.  [/quote]
