Sick Days

I assume most people have seen the commercial that says "parents don't take sick days". Well, it's almost as hard for nannies to take sick days, I've discovered.  After all, a person's body doesn't usually give much warning before deciding to cross the line from healthy to sick. When the parents are counting on you, most of the time, you've just got to be there.  I've nannied when I was sick, and I've nannied when the kids were sick, and I've nannied when we were both sick.  Last weekend I did have to take a sick day, as I had what must have been a stomach bug.  This weekend, I have a cold, but with an extra day's rest I'm sure I'll be good to go. So, have a peaceful evening everyone, curl up with a blanket and a cup of tea, stay healthy, and have a good week.  Find a bit of joy every day!
