[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies that would be offended or that want to go in the exam room , why do you want to go in the exam room and not wait in the waiting room ?[/quote]
If I'm the primary caregiver, most pediatricians would want me there. [/quote]

+1 I'm a nanny who has correctly diagnosed strep throat twice before we ever got to the doctors office. I also knew my charge had autism, even after her regular pediatrician said (after spending all of 15 minutes with her) that she was fine and would "catch up". [/quote]
As a  24 hr / 7 nanny who has gone to apps without the parents because they travel internationally extensively and can be gone upwards of 2 months at a time. The pediatrician clearly doesn't want me there. Won't listen to me and kind of treats me like I'm invisible. When mb is home I am so relieved I can be in the waiting room with the other kiddos. Well visits are scheduled for all 3 the same day when she will be in town. But when they are sick I take all 3 on my own and I am treated like I'm not there. [/quote]

Wow, you should convince your employers to change pediatricians. Not only because this is disrespectful as hell, but because it is also dangerous. A physician who doesn't listen to the caregiver (especially one with as much time/responsibility for the kids as you have!) is not a good physician. S/he could miss important symptoms or issues! I take my charge to the doctor by myself and with the mother, and the doctor always listens to both of us, speaks to both of us, and my MB looks to me to make sure I agree with her answers. [/quote]
