Look up one of the multitudes of nanny contracts available online.

Money aside, i would be worried they get exposure from covid working other jobs and return to you guys before 14 days. Will you require her to be symptom free for 14 days before she returns?

What's "fair" depends on your goals. You don't own other people or their time -- unless you're paying for it. If your goal is for them to quarantine themselves so that they and you will be less exposed, then pay them for the 24-7 time that you would like them to restrict their behavior on your behalf. If you're just being pissy because they're using their time away from your home productively, then your expectations are bizarrely inappropriate - IMO. Why are you so "concerned" about how other people spend their time? (not solely a snarky question -- I'm genuinely curious and not sure what I'm missing here.)

Pay them for 24/7 can only come out of someone who has never ever done the calculations of what it costs to hire a nanny in this area. Even at straight time to not complicate matters, it will easily translate into paying $12,000 a month minimum. Be realistic.

She is not giving them PTO. She is paying her nanny her regular rate to quarantine herself. The two things are very different.

This people. Put yourself in the OP's shoes. Use your head. Why is OP's concern so hard to understand? It was actually generous of the OP to do this for her nanny.

OP didn’t say why she was paying them. She din’t say anything about quarantine. If she is concerned about the nanny getting sick, she would have to pay the nanny not to work and not to go to the grocery, the pharmacy, etc. OP just thinks it’s unfair that she can’t control their behavior.

Live-in nanny here. 24/5 and 24/7 are usually $50k+/year, but they’re not $12k per month. There are additional costs (vehicle, food, insurance, etc), but total costs don’t usually exceed $100k for a year. $12k/month equates to $144k/year; I’ve only seen 5 positions advertised as $125k+ in the last couple years, but at had extenuating conditions that necessitated higher pay to attract the right candidate.
