[quote=Anonymous]If I behaved appropriately as a parent and took appropriate steps to protect our nanny from an illness, but she gets sick, yes, I would count them as sick days, which of course would still mean she was going to be paid. As another poster pointed out, you don't want to be in the business of tracking where people get every illness from. That being said, as another person noted, if we got toward the end of the year and the nanny got sick again and was going to go over her days by a day or two, I'd remember this moment and just pay her anyway, life happens.

HOWEVER. I'm reading between the lines here. Your 8 month old got sick on Sunday and your kids seemed fine after 12 (!!) hours. Then you got sick on Monday, and the nanny got sick on Tuesday.

Did you have the nanny come on Monday despite the fact that your baby had a stomach bug that started less than 12 hours before?? If so, you're a huge, huge a$$hole.

My nanny comes when the kids have colds, sure. But a stomach bug? If there's a highly contagious stomach bug going around your house, you tell your nanny to stay home, with pay, until the last kid has been symptom free for a minimum of 24 hours. Duh. And if an adult has it, you keep that adult in their own bedroom and disinfect everything in the main areas of the house before the nanny arrives.

If you had the nanny come on Monday, you owe her not only those two sick days, but a huge apology. YTA. [/quote]
