Paying a new nanny.

I agree....
$4,000/mo. would be a huge loss since this shelter in place order will likely continue on until summer begins.

And she hasn’t even started working yet.

No one expected this virus to change everything so since this is all uncharted territory, there really is no right or wrong answer here.

Personally I would just ask her if she would be willing to wait.

^You can contact her after this entire thing is over.

If she still would be available wonderful.
But if she finds another family, then that is okay w/you too.

A wait & see approach is best.

There is NO way she’s going to keep waiting for your position to start without being paid and you don’t sound like you have any intention of having her start anytime soon. So offer her two weeks pay and let her move on to another job.

Best answer. What did you end up doing OP?
