[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was she off for 6 months? [/quote]

I’m curious about this too. And were you paying her this whole time?

OP again, we didn’t have her come for a few months once COVID got bad since she takes public transportation and does not drive. We drove her daily for a couple weeks but it was just too much (45 mins each way). Then, since the kids’ summer camp wasn’t happening we decided to go to my parents’ for the summer and just returned after Labor Day. She was collecting unemployment the whole time, but from what I understand terminated it when she came back.[/quote]

Wow, so you just got away with nearly 6 months of not paying her and then want to complain about this when she gets back? Where is the guarantee your “interim help” won’t be living her life as well? At some point you just accept a certain amount of risk if you are going to have a nanny in your home. You trust her to watch your child, so you should trust her judgement generally. You’re lucky she is telling you any of this to begin with. [/quote]

I am not complaining about paying her, I am mainly saying after being off for 6 months it’s frustrating that she is now doing something I deem risky that prevents her from working for two weeks when she just came back.

And while I didn’t pay her, she collected more in unemployment than she gets paid so she was thrilled[/b].[/quote]

That means you don’t pay a living wage.

Please do not make a big deal about the funeral. And yes, obviously, pay her if you expect her to quarantine.
