[quote=Anonymous]We live in a small apartment in Arlington. I can work from home right now but of course will eventually be called back into the office. I’m realizing that I don’t think I’m going to be comfortable sending my 3 year old back to daycare this summer or fall. I can’t pay for a nanny out of my salary (I’m a single mom) but I could pull money from savings. I think it’s worth it to me. I’m too anxious about the unknowns with covid and daycare doesn’t feel safe to me at all. So... where would the nanny and my daughter play all day? We live in a busy neighborhood where even the sidewalks are crowded. If the playgrounds stay closed, what are they going to do all day? Where will I work? I can’t work from inside the same apartment where my daughter is. She will beg for me all day. We need to be in separate spaces. I’m just not seeing how this can work. Maybe I can look for a nanny share? Someone who has a yard and they host? And then I work at home.[/quote]
