I want to go to my GP and get sick leave for a week or two

I want to go to the doctor next week and get signed off from work.

I'm having a difficult time in work lately. I'm a nanny and I work approx 60 hours this week. I don't even have a day off this week. I'm back into work tomorrow and I might be needed on Sunday. That's not very fair.

I work for a couple who loaded so much onto my back this week and they don't even appreciate me or respect me. The mother is increasingly difficult to get along with. She's the same with her husband and teenage daughter. She's never happy. Shes someone who only sees what she wants to see. She often comes home and sees the work that's not done or complete and she scolds me. Even though I could have a whole entire day's work done. I nearly run the utility room like a factory with wash loads. After Christmas she gave out stink to me because her families laundry was piling up but I got a few days off over Christmas (Christmas day and boxing day) and when I went back to work after Christmas, I did as much as what I could do and she had the cheek and the neck to scold me about the laundry piling up. I should have walked then never mind about staying on working more for them.

I want to leave. The family has me as live in this week and next week and the load is just too much. Especially with the heatwave that we had. I actually feel sick. The sun made me sick, I never really had appropriate rest periods, one her children didn't sleep at night and I was up most nights. I'm completely migrained out now and I just feel so so so sick.

I want to go to the doctor on Monday and get signed out of work. I need a break. The parents really pissed on my annual leave too and has denied me annual leave this summer. The last time I was allowed a proper break and holiday from work with a week off was in 2019.

Would a doctor sign me out of work? I do have backache. I could go to the doctor with backache.

Do you usually live out? Have you got a contract?what hours do you usually work? And are you a nanny or a house keeper? Do you get paid for the extra hours? Do you feel able to leave?
A nanny would only usually do tasks relating to the children, cooking meals, washing etc.
Speak to your Gp and get signed off, no matter what the answer to the questions, this is impacting on your health and illegal of you are not getting proper rest, leave etc

GP's can't sign you off until day 8 onwards. You have to self certify. You sound unappreciated and under stress. You need to leave to protect your own health. I am certain you could find another job. Go to an agency. If you self certify your employer sounds like they will blow up at you. Do you live in or have you got somewhere else you live? If you have somewhere else to live take all your things with you when you leave, then pick up a self certification form, fill it out and post it to employer signed for. Ring to tell employer you are too I'll too work. Reason workplace stress. They are working you too many hours and it is unfair.

OP do you take LFT?
As a last resort I’d say it came back positive so you need to order a PCR test. It might only give you a couple of days off but it sounds like you could do with it.
