[quote=Anonymous]We host a nanny share. Kids are around 1 year, both on two naps a day. Most days, but not all, their naps line up pretty well.

How do people handle house cleaners with a nanny share? Both pre-covid, and during covid.

Our cleaners only come monthly, and we we've been able to schedule around holidays so far so it hasn't been an issue, but today we had them come when the babies were here and it was kinda a disaster. We have two floors, so the cleaners started where the bedrooms are, and we were on the other floor (nanny, two babies, two of us WFH). Then they finished, and we switched. The timing theoretically worked out with nap time - but one of the babies (ours!) didn't nap at all when the cleaners were here. So now the schedule for the day is all crazy. Plus we (two adults and nanny) basically had to sit in the hallway near the bedrooms while the babies "napped" to stay clear of the cleaners (because of covid).

Covid obviously adds some craziness with staying away, having to wear masks the whole time, etc. But it's hard for me to imagine this working well even without covid. Other people must handle this - even with weekly cleaners. Is there some trick I'm missing here?

(before anyone gets on my case, the cleaners, the nanny share, and a once a month trip to Walgreens are our only covid risks, we're otherwise very careful)[/quote]
