NannyCast 21: Working While Sick  The nannies met up at the park to let the children run and to discuss the unique quirk of nannying which is that nannies are expected to work when sick. How do you know when you are too sick to work? How do you know when your charge is too sick for you to work? What happens if you suddenly become too sick to work? What about mental health? What do you need to have in your contract in order to be a nanny who is sick? (download) Additional Show Notes:
