[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a good question. I have been trying to find the right words before having a discussion with my bosses. Before I took my current position, I told them at the interview that if a child has a fever above 101, vomiting and/or diarrhea that I believe a parent should be home with their child. Months later at the job, which I love by the way- I don't know how to approach this with them. I know I need to say something. You have any suggestions?[/quote]

Not sure if you actually said this verbatim, but you would achieve the same thing if you said simply -- I won't care for the kids when they have a fever over 101, etc.  No need to offer your judgment of what makes a good parent.  Whether or not a Nanny will care for my sick kids is one of my interview questions.  It's not a deal breaker.  I try to be home whenever I can when my kids are sick, but sometimes my husband and I are both on travel at the same time and we simply can't get home.  If a Nanny made a statement like the one above, I'd assume she had a bit of an attitude (just like SOME (not all) of the Nanny posters on this board -- although reading this board has admittedly made my more cynical, so a statement like the one above would be a big red flag).[/quote]
