Who is right?

My nanny had a migraine yesterday but was not working for us that day, I just knew about it.
I texted her today asking her how she was and she said still a bit sore but she was sure she would be fine for tomorrow. I replied with.

'Just leave tomorrow Emily. Get yourself sorted. I can pick up Ethan.'

I then felt a bit annoyed as she texted twice more. Once saying she was going to her other job as normal tomorrow but it was up to me if I still wanted her to do collection for Ethan and then another one asking if I still needed her to work for me long term as she needed to be aware if my plans had changed.

She meant in terms of if she is needed long term. I haven't replied as I am feeling stressed today and I don't feel i really need to reply as the second text just asked me to tell her if my plans were changing and as present they are not. However, my sister said I am acting weirdly and that I should text her back to reassure her. My nanny is not a child and the text did not need a response.

Im not sure the history here but you have an attitude.Remember it was you who offered to cover the job.Maybe she's counting on that money hoping you reconsidered.You really should have left it up to her if she felt well enough to work.

@Butterflykisses24 I don't have to apologise for making that decision. I was helping her out.

@Jenni855 If you did that to me,I'd quit.

@Butterflykisses24 Okay. But that would be extreme if someone is trying to help you.

@Jenni855 I don't see it like you do.
Jenni855 · 36-40, F
@Butterflykisses24 How do you see it then? You wouldn't want your boss looking out for you?
Butterflykisses24 · 51-55, F
@Jenni855 I am responsible enough to call in sick if needed.Dont need my boss telling me not to call me in.Listen.Id quit if I was working for you.Ypu don't think about people's feelings.

@Butterflykisses24 You are not reading my post properly.
I helped her out by saying she didn't have to come in. I gave her an extra day of rest. How is that not thinking about her feelings?

Ok as long as you paid her or would be taking away her wages.@Jenni855
