The world does not revolve around you. No you should not be annoyed. Life happens, as I'm sure it has happened to you as well. Have some decency, show some compassion, and get the fuck over it.

Yes, your nanny should be able to make it in today. The last minute I am not making announcements are the hardest to manage as a nanny employer.

Im a live in nanny with no children. My bosses wanted a live in nanny with no children so they wouldn't have to worry about snow days or sick children.

If her kid is sick, it sounds like she would be out anyway for a sick day.

Yes and yes. Hence I am annoyed.

Then I would be angry as well. And I am a nanny.

DH and I both work in hospitals and we always are required to go to work. Our nanny understood this when she accepted the position and has never missed a day of work for weather or any other reason.

I'm sorry, OP. You may need to find another nanny with whom you can make accept completely that there is no such thing as a snow day. Also hire someone who can walk to your home even if it is a distance.

I would be annoyed. We have to work and so should your nanny! It's a bad winter, yes, but we pay our nanny very well and expect her to be at work.

Yes, you are, for obvious reasons, Einstein.

I would be really annoyed. Luckily I have a reliable mature nanny.

to STAY HOME?

Yes, you are, for obvious reasons, Einstein.

?? Are you not expected to go to work even though schools are closed and your kid may be sick?

Grow up, lady.

Her street wasn't plowed and her kid is sick. Maybe it's this winter taking its toll on me, but I am starting to question her reliability after numerous snow days, etc.
