[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this! Unfortunately, your nanny is a dud who doesn’t understand the concept of social distancing and shelter-in-place. And a fraudulent dud who wants to collect unemployment and get a cash job! I hope nobody will hire her. You have every right to deny her unemployment without feeling bad about it. She has a safe home, a steady job, and a car to go out in, and she wants to mess it up for a few extra dollars. Whatever.[/quote]

I'm curious: Is that enough for you?  A "safe" home in somebody else's house -- where they make the rules about who you can and cannot interact with on your ow time?  A job -- that has gone from having defined hours to meaning that your supposedly "free" time is now restricted to meet the needs of your boss - 24/?  A car to go out in -- except that she can't go anywhere that isn't pre-approved by her boss?  You're harping on money - which, as I read it, is less of an issue than being able to have social interaction with people she knows who genuinely care about her well-being.  As you say: Whatever.  I'm sure that your life is absolutely nothing like what you're pushing for this young woman.  I truly hope that things work out well for her.  [/quote]

OP has said it was the nanny’s choice / preference to live in when she started working for them several years ago. OP’s only restriction is that the nanny follow the LAW which requires sheltering in place. Please explain why this is objectionable to you. Are employers not allowed to require their employees to follow the law?[/quote]

If the consequence is being kicked out of your home, then maybe not.  Nanny’s home is in the employer’s house.  It’s part of her pay.  I don’t know if landlords or people who provide housing g as part of compensation are allowed to kick people out for what the nanny has asked to do.  [/quote]
