[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - figured out a solution and just found a temporary nanny for the 2 weeks before my parents come who is happy to stay with us for the 2 weeks.  Turns out it’s not hard at all to find someone willing to fully socially distance right now given a lot of people feel it’s the best thing to be doing.  Giving my nanny the 2 weeks plus the week my parents are here off (paid) and planning to keep her overall but I am glad to know there are so many people willing to distance if our current nanny starts taking on more risk than my family can take (going to restaurants and bars whenever they reopen etc)

Separately I always find the posts that you can’t require anything of nannies beyond their working hours strange.  I never have but wanting to do so doesn’t suddenly make it crazy.  many many jobs have all sorts of restrictions on what you can do in your free time, whether for the safety of those you’re working with or for the image of the company.  Especially now as companies are calling people back to work they are putting in restrictions that you’re not allowed to do large events in your free time and if you do you have to take unpaid leave.  Fair or not many companies reach far into their employees personal lives and time [/quote]

There are a couple ridiculously immature nannies on this forum, OP.  They see employers as parents and think any restriction is an affront to their freedom.  Ignore them.

I am a nanny and I’ve never even known another nanny who wouldn’t put the health of her charge first (thus happily accept strict limitation on interactions during an epidemic).  We all truly love our charges.  I know, for myself, that it’s worth being totally alone on weekends and evenings to do my part to keep my darling little guy healthy.

I’m glad you found someone, OP, but I’m not surprised.  [/quote]
