[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long are you getting paid OP? I would match that.  Also nannies for some reason aren’t subject to the stay at home orders because they’re classified as essential caregivers.  (Whether that’s morally correct when there are 2 parents to give care is another issue.) [/quote]+1

I think this was a decent perspective a month ago, when it was not immediately clear that we’d be homebound for months. It’s hard to justify paying people their full salaries when they cannot do their job remotely. And as far as our own compensation goes, it will definitely be impacted. Lots of employers are doing lay offs, pay cuts, and at best, withholding or diminishing bonuses. It gets unsustainable to keep paying nannies at full salary when they’re not actually working, you’re trying to do their job and your own, and your own income is being potentially impacted. It’s obviously a personal decision but for many people, childcare is a large, substantial expense that’s not sustainable without the actual help. [/quote]
