Does Maryland stay at home order apply to nannies?

[Anonymous]

Anyone know if the md stay at home order prevents nannies from coming to house to help with childcare in the kids own house? Doesn’t seem clear from the order itself?

Stop trying to find ways around this! Unless you are essential, and need childcare so that you can physically go to work to provide an essential service, you should stay at home and your nanny should stay at home.

That you are asking this question means you're probably not essential, you likely know your nanny should be staying at home, and you're trying to avoid the inconvenience of watching your kid while you work remotely. Stop it. Be a decent human being.

It's an essential service.

He didn’t change the definition of essential service, just made it mandatory and added a travel restriction.

Genuine question. Where does it say you have to be both essential AND have to physically go to work in order to provide the essential service? For example, payroll and accounting services are listed as essential. You don't need to physically go to work to provide those, but they ARE essential.

I'm not talking about the gymnastics people are engaging in to define themselves as essential. If you can do your job at home, you should be at home. If you are at home, your kids dont need childcare. Plain and simple.

There NO requirement that you must physically go to work. Yet. That may change but if they have not specified yet they probably won't.

What is with all the nay-sayers? My nanny lives alone and only goes between our house and hers. I'm a small business owner trying to keep business rolling (accounting) so that I don't have to fire people and contribute to unemployment. My husband works for DOD. If our nanny has no more exposure coming to our house and allowing us to our jobs and we are doing a tiny little part in keeping the economy rolling why do you care if she stays home or not?

Gymnastics? There's literally a list on the governor's website. What are you seeing that I'm not?

If I do not have childcare, I cannot make myself available during business hours. Unfortunately, my 17 month old and 3 year old just haven't yet learned to supervise themselves.

You do realize you represent only a single data point right? Not everyone's nanny lives alone. Not everyone's nanny is young and healthy. Not everyone's nanny drives a car. Not everyone who employs a nanny is essential. Not everyone who employs a nanny runs a business. MANY people are working remotely right now from home, and those people dont need childcare. You should only be asking your nanny to come to work in cases where her working is TRULY essential, allowing you to do work that is essential.

And truthfully, you dont sound like someone who fits that definition. Two able-bodied adults working at home should be able to also supervise their children.

What exactly do you think the rest of us are doing? People are working AND watching their kids. It is possible you lazy lump of a person.

But that is just not what the order says though. It's your personal interpretation of what people "should be" doing.

There is the letter of the law, and there's the spirit of it. When someone you know dies, I'm sure you'll wish people had done what they knew was right, rather than pushing everything to the limit.

Childcare is only essential for essential employees.
