If you are doing a pod/nanny, will your caregiver wear a mask?

I bought the nanny clear masks that both she and I wear for 2 weeks if we are within six feet of each other and either of us has not been totally quarantined. (I .e. if she has been inside someone else's house or I have let my parents visit). The clear masks are so the baby isn't scared. She gets it and is fine with it. Neither of us want covid.

I do agree with the other posters, that if you require your nanny to wear a mask in your house, your should also be wearing a mask in your house 100% of the time that she is there and you should have your kids wear a mask also. I think it is unfair for you to require your nanny to do something that you would not do yourself.

OP here. I don't agree. My house, my money, my rules. How is it unfair to make that part of the contract?

Too bad for you lady, nannies have the upper hand right now. You should be careful because families n every corner want to poach a good nanny.

You’re welcome to try. Most of us are capable of rational thought and realize that it would mean no eating or drinking while in your home. Not allowing an employee to eat or drink is unreasonable. And if they can take the mask off to eat and drink, there’s really no point in wearing it at all.

Apparently, neither was Herman Cain.

If the clear masks are plastic, then they are hotter than Hell and I would not wear it. Tough if your kid is afraid of masks.

Looking to hire someone to come for a few hours each day and yes I plan to ask them to mask.

You don’t have to.

No, and our nanny hugs and does all sorts of horseplay with our toddler and I wouldn’t have it any other way. No high risk folks in our household though
