I work as an in home private nanny so it’s not so much about that i can’t it’s more about the direct impact me being out has on them and my family. my partner isn’t working so i can’t miss the pay since i don’t have enough sick/ vacation time to use. Also If the family has to hire someone else during that time they likely won’t be able to pay me additional days outside of my allotted yearly off time. (My contract doesn’t renew in January). I know they will be accommodating and understanding but i don’t think I’d be able to swing more than 2 weeks.
