Pretty unwise, unless you're looking for another job. Ever met or heard of a boss who took well to being overtly judged and criticized by an employee?
Where is the judgment and criticism? She is giving her professional advice and a professional childcare provider. Guess experience and background only matters on paper and shouldn't be applied once hired?

You would think their main priority now would be spending time w/their baby, caring for him to ensure he makes a full recovery.
But instead they want to "catch dinner."
This is not the right time for that.
And not only this but you'd think they also would prioritize keeping the nanny healthy and try to relive her as soon as possible to lessen her exposure. What's more important? Keeping the nanny overtime with a feverish baby for dinner, or at least aiding making sure she can be healthy so they can go to work? Ridiculous

Not everyone should be a parent.

Even parents with sick gives deserve a break. Hard to believe, I know. OP if you don't want the extra hours, be an adult and say no. Stop complaining and grow up.
