Our nanny is driving me bloody mad!!!
She has been with us since September and to be completely honest its been a bumpy ride!
Since September she has at least 7 odd days off on the sick, and now my employer who is not that sympathetic is saying that I should take it as unpaid leave, as its not me or my kids that are ill, but the nanny. Unfortunatley I have no other emergency childcare cover, both my and my hubbys parents live hundreds of miles away.
Our old nanny never took a sick day in the 2 years that she was with us (I know I shouldn't compare!!) but this is leaving me in a very difficult situation.
Also new nanny is pregnant, and she wants to stay on with us when her baby is born, but she is just not reliable.
Am thinking strongly about taking in an aupair as ds in starting nursery in April and dd starts full time school in September.
I know there are some rules with letting an employee go when their pregnant (which I haven't got a clue about) but I just dont know what to do??
Please, any advice greatly appreciated.
