Apples and oranges. Just because you trust an employee doesn't mean you should loan them money. It's really unprofessional to ask for or accept a loan from an employer.

(Also, 14:15, I was thinking the same thing.)

You're so right, except some people with money just want to do the right thing, especially if it enables your child to have stability at home.

What do you mean by this? There is no "right thing" for her MB to do. OP's car died. Too bad, so sad. This has nothing to do with her NF and there is no "right thing" for them to do. This is solely OP's problem and responsibility.

The only right thing is for OP to handle her finances better so she can address problems that come up in her own life. If she makes too low a wage to make that possible as a nanny, she needs a new profession.

Simple.

It's the resident troll. Ignore her. Simple.

Please stick to the topic on point here instead of trying to stir the pot here.

We have had enough drama on this forum lately, we do not need anymore.

Do you really have nothing better to do with your time than try to call someone out on here for underlining and using italics?

And then gathering multiple postings from different categories and reporting them to the moderator?

Surely you have a better way to spend your free time....

If you can't get to work without a car, she may be thinking that she hopes you'll come to her and ask if you can't solve your problem yourself. She probably also doesn't want to commit herself in advance to paying for anything including a taxi if yyou have other alternatives.

Another MB here, and agree with this interpretation. Just not having a working car is not a reason to not come to work for 2 days, but I'd like the nanny to figure it out first. Over the years, we got "burned" many times by getting too involved with our nannies' cars problems, so now I'm trying to stay out of them. On the other hand, figuring out a solution to the pretty simple problem of getting nanny for point A to point B, is much easier and usually cheaper than figuring out backup care. I'd think this is where your MB Is coming from.

OP, you said you can't work Monday and Tuesday. Are you going to be using your PTO days? What options of getting to work did you consider? Family/friend driving you? Car rental (you'd be surprised how cheap some of them are with coupons)? Uber? Public transport? Seeing if MB can pick you up?

Why would she use her PTO when MB has already offer to help her? You don't sound to smart, pp.
