The larger your circle, the greater the exposure.

You need to know who these people are and what they are doing: of all the household members you will be exposing yourself to (all the families, teachers included), are any on the frontlines? Are there school aged children who might go to school in September? When you talked with each of these people, did they assure you they and their families were taking physical distancing and mask-wearing seriously?

OP here.  yes, I have laid out the rules, but it's also law that we wear masks in our county inside stores.  I am willing to have some risk, I know they need to grocery shop too.  The nanny has no other family she lives with.  I have [b]told her[/b] to be smart about what she does and who she is around.  I believe the benefits outweigh the risks.  I also believe the other family is being safe too.  [/quote]

OP, remember that your new nanny is an adult. She is free to make her own choices, and that you have to accept the risk of not being able to control all of those choices. Also, as a new nanny employer, you may want to try to remember not to get a big head. You're better off making requests than issuing orders, even though you are technically the boss. It's a nanny's market right now and you don’t want to be a nightmare to work with. [/quote]
