Dear all,
Unfortunately I had to urgently fly away to help my ill my mother abroad (Portugal). I talked to and notified the families I work for (I am a nanny) and asked them if I could come and until when could I be away. They were kind and supportive but I now need to know how to officially deal with the situation.
1 - I have a C permit and I need to know how can I apply to receive (if possible) a sick pay or something similar since I am away to help my mother. Does anyone know how can I deal with this situation? Who shall I contact?
2 - Furthermore, my mother is now retired (former arts teacher) and we are thinking about the possibility of her coming to Switzerland. Does anyone know how to ask for a permit for a retired person?
Please do reply if you can, I am really running out of options here. This was my Christmas present

this year.
Thank you and Happy New Year to all of you
