Ok - I started work properly as a Nanny 3 weeks ago and didn't go in today as up all night with D & V, doubled up on bathroom floor etc - I never don't go in, was previously a teacher and know the problems it causes in school etc - had to get DH to stay home to look after DD (who normally comes to work with me) - I would never have not gone in if I had been well enough to look after DD. Anyhow planning on going in tomorrow even if not 100% as well that is what I feel is best, have talked to boss about her chn getting it but as my DD seems ok she is happy for me to go in. Obviously me not being in has caused problems today and I don't want it to happen again. Have been trying to make Nanny friends as someone suggested could cover for each other but FB is worried about numbers of chn etc - what do other people do? If my mum hadn't been training in Manchester she would have offered to cover for me (with her having to take holiday, so doens't seem very fair to me, so would never ask her to do that!)
