[quote=Anonymous][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]

It would be a completely different story if OP weren't in a Covid hotspot with stay at home orders.  I don't know why you don't understand this.[/quote]

It would be a completely different story if OP evidenced some shred of compassion and understanding for her isolated employee. I don’t know why you don’t understand this.  [/quote]

+1.  She seems to view the nanny more as a tool than as a person.  It’s a bummer it’ll take Amazon so long to ship a replacement.[/quote]
