This might have been asked already but nanny and covid question

[Anonymous]

We have a nanny that comes in while DH and I are at work. He telework and I go in since I am in healthcare. Is it ok having the nanny come in while we work to take care of our toddlers? She drives or ubers here...

Of course. Both of you need to work, so she needs to work. Make sure you all distance yourselves otherwise.

Not PP, but this scary report just came out today: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/03/17/coronavirus-looks-different-kids-than-adults/
