[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I’m with you - she sounds melodramatic and annoying. For all you know she had an assymptomatic case and brought it to your house. Or nanny did in fact bring covid to our house and gave it to 2 of us last year. She admitted she had been out to eat with someone who had been exposed and then had symptoms the next am. I was annoyed but it kind of goes with the territory. If your nanny did not want to assume the risk then she shouldn’t be working as a nanny right now. [/quote]What a stupid comment. Imagine if everybody who had a job decided not to have that job right now due to Covid. That would mean pretty much everybody who has a job not working in a cave all alone. C'mon. Everyone including nanny employers need to assume risk as well and we all need to have some consideration for each other (which you so clearly lack). [/quote]
I definitely don’t lack empathy but a nanny job even in pre-covid times involved exposure to kid germs, kid activities, etc. If you are not willing to assume that risk then a nanny job isn’t for you [/quote]

NP here and you’re being obtuse..  Nurses are upset when they get covid as are doctors, dentists, healthcare technicians, etc.  Your level of risk doesn’t alter your emotional response to fear.

I’m a surgeon and I was furious when I got covid from an unvaccinated nurse.  Surgeries postponed and, although fully vaccinated, I feared for my toddler and patients.  [/quote]
Would you have been curious if the nurse had been vaccinated? OP is vaccinated. That makes a big difference, IMO.[/quote]Furious, not curious![/quote]
