[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has made it apparent that I need to require a backup plan from future employers, since so many of you are so complacent about it. I will even help them line it up, and set it in motion myself, but I'm not going to feel bad because I'm human and you're irresponsible. [/quote]

Please stop with the name calling. Backup care is hard, especially to arrange within an hour or two for a sick day.  There is no personal fault on either side if someone gets sick and it's tough to line up an immediate solution.  That's life and that's the reality for any working parent.

If a prospective nanny asked me how I handle backup care I would think that was a smart question.  If he/she "required a backup plan from employers" I would find that presumptive of incompetence and condescending and would send you on your way.[/quote]

Where was I name calling? Irresponsible? That's name calling? If you have a responsibility that you do not handle you're irresponsible. Sorry you don't like facts. The fault lies in the fact that nannies get crap when they take off because its "hard" for you. If you recognize that its hard because of your own inaction and don't fault your nanny, then that's fine. Most of you are still making excuses though. Its hard because you haven't done your due diligence. My boss never gives me crap about being sick because she has drop in care, backup sitters, and her own PTO reserve. Not really that hard.
