Night Nanny Mask?

Of course as long as you are also masked too, otherwise it’s hypocritical.

I think it’s a safe assumption that the parents will be asleep and away from the nanny so I doubt it’s an issue.

Isn't the mask to protect the baby from RSV? Are the parents going out at all and if so, are they wearing masks around the baby?

If you are worried why can't you take turns taking care of your baby at nigh? This is a great way to bond.

That is neither your call or your concern. If you accept any job where there is a mask requirement, you wear the mask.

Sleeping well and being happy with the baby for the next 16 hours is a better way to bond.

I mean, sure, you are right, and I guess I am not one bit concerned about this baby's health but I am pointing out inconstancies (I mean, hypocrisies). Don't want advice? Don't post on DCUM.

No, I mean it’s not the nanny’s call or concern. The parents can do whatever they want with the baby as they know where they’ve been and who they’ve been in contact with. Not to mention that it would be bad for the baby not to see faces and mouths move during the day.

There is nothing hypocritical about requesting something from an employee that you, the employer, don’t do. As long as the parents wear a mask around the nanny, they are fine.

If she's going to be there more than an hour, it's just security theater. The effectiveness of masks wears off the longer two people are in an enclosed space together (assuming nanny stays with baby all night in his/her room).

Then why have nurses and doctors always worn masks in surgeries that last far longer than an hour? I’m sure they would love to hear your hour-efficacy-mask theory.

I’m not sure about the hour time limit but technically she would be a close contact regardless: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/contact-tracing/contact-tracing-plan/appendix.html#contact

The mask helps regardless. It’s why we all wear them in the NICU and pediatric floors now. And we have very close contact with the babies for hour after hour.
