I agree.

Your kids are too old for a nanny. That said, if you want one, give her the day off tomorrow to recover and then move on from it. I wouldn't let this reflect poorly on her under these circumstances.

That's why it appears that op is a troll.

I know right? At age 12 I had my first babysitting gig. I guess kids are different these days?

Send her home, call to make sure she got there okay, and give her the following day off. That is incredibly painful!

Wow.

Are we sure OP isn't the troll? Her tale is not believable.

OP, I am sorry to say this, but you are awful. Why didn't you offer to drive her home?

Agree with PPs.

Tell her to take tomorrow off.

If you do offer PTO, remind her that this is what it is for and to please call out sick if she's ever not feeling up to working.

If you don't offer PTO, consider why you don't feel that's an important benefit to give another human being who might encounter emergencies like ruptured ovarian cysts.

With older school aged kids, its probably a PT job with no PTO. Perhaps she couldn't afford to take the day off. I'd talk to her OP and let her know that falling asleep on the job is not acceptable but if she doesn't feel up to working she should let you know. If you don't offer PTO, this is a good reason why you should. It encourages her to take off when she truly isn't up to the job.

For God's sake, OP, give her tomorrow off.

She's crazy for not taking the day off to rest. That's what PTO is for.

My kids are 13 and 11. I walked downstairs and noticed DC1 doing her homework and DC2 reading a book on the couch. The nanny was sleeping on the love seat. I woke up nanny and asked her if she was feeling ok. She said she had been hospitalized with a ruptured ovarian cyst yesterday and had been a lot of pain and she must have dozed off unexpectedly. What do I do?! She's a great nanny otherwise and there have been no incidents like this in the past.
