My mum's best friend passed away suddenly at the weekend. We've found out the date for the funeral & it's on a day I do my nanny share. The date also falls in the week that MB from the main family is away for work Mon-Fri. DB1 is a surgeon & MB2&DB2 are both teachers. Neither set of parents have family living close by (2.5+ hours away). I'm hesitant to ask for the time off as I know it won't be possible but I'm devastated I can't go. Options I have are: 1) ask & be told no 2) ask & they miraculously find cover 3) ask & tell them that my sister has offered to have the 2 youngest ones (eldest is at school) & take them for a walk in the park next to the crematorium so I can at least get to say my goodbyes there, although we've been told its family only there. She can then go to the thanksgiving service after with the rest of my family. The service would be 20 mins max & the girls know her but would hopefully sleep as it's right after lunch.
Nannies WWYD? Employers What would you rather I did?
Sorry it's long & thank you for getting this far if you did. I wanted to make sure I had all the details in there.
