[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why some of you did this. It seems idiotic and illogical to have nanny stay home for 2-3 weeks and then bring her back. Either have her come the whole time (which is what we did) or not at all.[/quote]

Huh? Both my husband and I are at home and my husband has no work currently since his business is shut down. So we don’t need our nanny here while my husband can easily watch them. We also value our nanny so will continue to pay her while we aren’t using her so that we can insure she comes back to us when it’s time. [/quote]

Your husband could have used some of that time to job hunt (or take a break). For that matter, you could have used that time to take a break too.

So you’re just planning to pay her for months and not have her come in? Fools and their money are easily parted...[/quote]

PP here: Apparently I wasn’t clear enough. My husbands business (the one he OWNS), is currently shut down. He does not need to job hunt as he owns his own business and we are fine financially with it being shut down for a few months if needed.

And yes, we will continue to pay our nanny for “months” if it comes down to that as again, we value her and love her and want her to come back to us when this is all over. She’s been with us for 2 years and we can financially afford to pay her so MYOB. :)[/quote]

I'm a nanny. You are a hero to us, PP that is still paying. I totally understand folks that got laid off having to lay off nannies, but if you are still paid and want your nanny back when this is over....
I'm happy to work but we've all been sick for a week and staying apart. They are still figuring out if they can have me back (not all nannies can go to work in my area), but I'm being paid- because I'm needed back asap. If I get laid off, I have to find another family and they will have to find another nanny.
