[quote=Anonymous]We addressed this in our contract. If the kids are sick, she is expected to work and to care for them (giving Tylenol/Advil as needed, or giving antibiotics if a dose is due while she's there). If one of them is sick enough to need medical care, one of us stays home, does the doctor visit, and cares for that child. This has hardly ever come up. Our nanny has a week of sick days from us, but in 2 years has yet to take a single sick day--she gets a mild cold or allergies here and there but has been working with kids for a decade and her immune system is amazing. Prior to her, we had a short-term nanny who complained about being around our kids when they were sick and it was really frustrating. [/quote]
