[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe the attitudes of some of the people on this thread, and I didn't even read the whole thing.  No, you don't need to disclose it, and it's no one's business.  The only thing I would want to be certain about is that if you have meds you need to take while on the job, you need to keep them VERY SECURE and be certain the kids can get to them.  This goes for any meds -- even Tylenol.

Mental health issues can pop up at any time.  Maybe you weren't taking meds when you started but needed to take them afterwards.  I got PPD after the birth of my first kid but never needed meds at any other point in my life.  There are circumstances where someone can need meds and didn't previously.  I would much rather my nanny take meds and keep herself healthy and stable than not take them because she was worried about what I'd say or think![/quote]

Another Pp;
I did. She was amazing with my brother ( whom I was raising at the time).
She took care of him for 2 yrs and then we moved. I trusted her and her judgement. She had raised 6 children, and had several grandchildren.

So if you were hiring a nanny to care for your baby, alone in your home, you wouldn't mind if she were taking medication for a diagnosed mental illness?  Even though you could have hired an equally good nanny who was not on any medication for any illnesses?  [/quote][/quote]

What's to say that the nanny wouldn't develop a condition while working for you?  Maybe she chose to seek treatment, maybe not.  Either way, YOU HAVE NO CONTROL.  Perhaps knowing that your nanny is proactive about taking care of herself can be a good thing.[/quote]

That is like saying it is better to hire someone who is deaf than risk the employee becoming deaf.  Makes no sense.  [/quote]
