We are concerned daycare might not be worth it because of all the time the child will spend waiting for Covid results before being allowed back. Our center has very strict rules and excludes children for a single symptom, including runny nose or congestion, which could be due to an allergy. I’m sort of wondering after how many absences you just decide it’s not worth it.

Yes we pulled out of a program for this last year. We are dual working parents and one of us has no WFH option -- it was 100% not feasible to escalate to multi-day quarantine for every sniffle. We had a nanny for a while during the remainder of 2020 and then switched to a new daycare after the nanny quit.

Hahahahah so you are back to where you started. That was pretty unproductive. I guess daycare was your best option in the first place.

Wow you enjoy the idea of people struggling way to much.

FYI not every daycare requires symptoms to be completely gone. If you have access to quick turnaround testing (eg through Kaiser) it can be pretty mamageable

Not even peak cold flu. The germs are nastier after all the lockdowns and she's been pretty sick a couple of times.

It would be easier if she could go back with a negative test, but it's 48 hours without symptoms. And DD has been so miserable with some if these germs I would have kept her out anyway.

I just can't do it anymore and I'm lucky to have the nanny option. Which I never wanted and DD has been in daycare generally since she was 6 months

When your nanny gets COVID and doesn’t tell you OR when they just stop being reliable and there is no backup, please let us know how much you like your nanny then. Lol. Newbie.

Hey jerk there will literally be no difference between a sick nanny and no back up and DD out for 7 to 10 days twice a month. I doubt you even have kids and if you do, you have probably kept them home the whole time.
