[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]

You make it sound like OP has the nanny locked in the basement and doesn't let her leave.  She does let her leave, as she's mentioned several times. Presumably nanny has a phone or other device that she can use to communicate with her friends.  My BFF is stuck at home with her cats and hasn't seen any friends or family in the past month.  We FaceTime once a week so she can say hi to me and the kids, she talks to her parents and her siblings several times a week.  She's not thrilled, but she's doing fine.  At least the nanny's not at home ALONE.[/quote]
