[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure I understand the point of not having the nanny come if it’s allowed. If both households are diligent about staying isolated, it’s just sharing germs within two households. It doesn’t all of a sudden open up the nanny or the family to the whole world and all of its germs. I assume OP knows the nanny and her home situation. If she lives in a group home and works nights delivering for instacart and has a husband who drives a metrobus, that’s a different story.

The nanny likely only opens up exposure by a tiny amount. I see the argument that it’s worth the immense increase in productivity at work and sanity. [/quote]

Some people are preferring to go above and beyond the order, as you can see in these comments. And from what I've seen many people don't trust their nannies to socially distance. Many nannies have families and you really can't control every member of someone else's family.

My nanny is 50ish and in good health, currently lives alone (family is overseas since last fall until at least this fall, though who knows now!) and drives to us, so we are having her come as long as it's allowed (and will pay her if she decides she is uncomfortable and wants to stay home!) However, when her large extended family was still living here in the US, I don't think I could've been comfortable exposing my kids to everyone she would have been exposed to (her children, their partners, young grandchildren, all under one roof).
