Exactly. As an MB before I leave the house I update my nanny on the day's activities, what children ate, moods and any potential worries. Why would it not occur to her as a mother to mention to her nanny whom she is leaving that a child was throwing up that day. I am also pretty sure the 4 year old wouldn't say he was sick all day if he just threw up once that morning after eating and jumping. Then after the nanny tells her about the child's continued sickness she still did not come back until bed time. I would never do that. Sounds intentional to me.[/quote]

Exactly.

To the PP who said the mom might not have lied... she lied by omission. She knew the nanny would be likely to stay home if she found out about the vomiting so she didn't mention it. The right thing to do in any scenario like this is to call and give the person the option!

ALTERNATIVE SCENARIO: My charge's grandmother is immunocompromised. If I vomit the night before work, even if I'm sure it is food poisoning, I call my employers to let them know and then they decide what they want to do (have me come in, have me stay home, have me call again in the morning to discuss). This is basic courtesy which was lacking in OP's MB.[/quote]
