[quote=Anonymous]Can you do a smaller in-home? Best of both worlds. Can you mask your child? I'm not in favor of toddler masking generally but for an immunocompromised child it might make sense. Maybe find a daycare that is strict about teachers masking and vaccination schedules. Some pediatricians, imo, are overly conservative about daycare and give you the "best practices"/perfectionist recommendation. Get a second opinion from another ped and be very explicit that you can't afford a nanny and need to find another solution. I agree your rate is a bit low, but try to find an older nanny, maybe a retired grandma who wants to be around kids but doesn't need the money. Your issue is common in nearly all the nannies/sitters I've hired who are young (<25), even the engaging ones who are great with children. Never had that issue with older nannies, who are proactive, neat, conscientious and don't require hand holding.[/quote]
