Just that really. Our nanny called in sick again today. That makes around 20 days this year, normally at short notice (as in, two hours before she's due to arrive: she starts mid-afternoon) and normally for coughs and colds, according to what she tells me. It's driving me mad and making me fall behind on my work, to say nothing of the fact we've essentially paid a month's salary for nothing, but I've noticed that Germans seem to be a lot quicker to cancel plans etc for 'sickness' than in England, so maybe it's normal and to be expected...? Our nanny in England took three days off over two years... Are we being taken for fools or do we need to suck it up?
