[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids. 9 yr old, 4 yr old with autism, and a 17 month old. Orginally in March when daycare, school, and therapy closed I tried to work from home best I could. By mid April I asked to go part time and am not working 16 hours or two 8 hour days. DH just started going back into the office last Thursday, my company is optional but since my daycare isnt opening and no camps I will continue working from home.  I need to find time to a.) Work b.) Work one on one with my special needs son about 6 
6 ours a week to keep him on his therapy track. c.) Keep myself mentally sain, dying for some alone time.  Is it socially ok to hire a nanny? A college student for 20 hours a week? I am now at the point that my mental health is comprised beyond the risk of covid but I also dont want to make a huge social mistake.  Should I offer some sort of covid hazard pay?  Like i said my dh is going back to the office so we arent social distancing much anymore. My kids are playing with neighborhood kids and my middle dc will go to outpatient therapy 3 times a week starting June 22.  Anyone else truly done...like not just complaining...but seriously cannot physically and career wise do this any longer or else their will be drastic consequences. [/quote]
