[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family has been quarantining heavily (including having all groceries delivered due to my husband's illnesses). We very reluctantly hired a nanny so that we could get help managing distance learning and working from home. A few days ago, our kids started getting sick with sore throats, runny noses, and one child threw up. I notified our nanny via text that our kids were sick and she mentioned in her reply that her daughter had the same bug a few days before. I was beyond angry that she would come to our home and get the entire family sick (its now making its way to my husband and I) and never say a word about her child being ill. This is more than likely just a cold, but I now don't trust her to mention any potential COVID exposure or symptoms. When we hired her, she agreed to limit her interactions to our family. [b]Am I overreacting in reconsidering having a nanny? [/b]The stress of having to worry about someone else's honesty and level of care is becoming difficult.[/quote]

No, you aren’t overreacting. It’s a very real risk having someone coming and doing from your home and now knowing what’s going on in their own house. You just have to decide if that benefit/ risk is worth it for your family.

And that said, what does “limit interactions to your family” mean? You should have had a good feel for her lifestyle and how seriously she takes COVID upon hiring her. If you felt comfortable going forward that’s on you. That doesn’t mean she and her family will live like hermits to protect you and your precious family. The entitlement is crazy. [/quote]
