What do I do?
Hello! I’m a nanny working for a really nice family of 5 (3 kids 2 parents). They have two toddlers aged 3 and 2, and a baby who’s a few months old. I worked with them since early May and have transitioned into full time with them as an actual employee with PTO, etc. However, in September, I had to miss 4 days. 2 were because my uncle had died and I was emotionally distraught, the other two I was sick. Now I am sick again (both the kids have a dry cough but the parents told me it’s not contagious) so idk if it’s from them. Either way, I missed a day this week because of it, but then went in the next day and just touched it out. However, i have gotten significantly worse. My throat hurts so badly it’s painful to talk, and when I do talk it gets even more sore. I also have a cough that accompanies this. I really really don’t want to be seen as unreliable because I’m only 20 making really good money and I like this family. I work 50 hours a week (40 for them and 10 ish for another family) plus school. Should I just tough it out and go in tomorrow?
