[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the SAHMs and working moms with nannies whom I know are super smug right now, because they are perfectly prepared for this situation and are maybe a tiny bit inconvenienced, but nothing compared to the rest of us parents.[/quote]

[b]Working mom with a nanny and I’m not smug.  We kept our nanny at home with full pay for three months until our state started to reopen. [/b] So we were paying a LOT more money than our friends who use daycare for the same service (nothing!).  Our kids are 1 and 3, so too young to be parked with an iPad.  Now that our nanny is back, I fully recognize what a fortunate situation we are in.

This was us as well. We paid our nanny for not coming to work (which we don't regret because she needs to earn a living but still, that was a big financial hit when we were having to care for the kids while working). We're still doing it through summer but we have discussed how we need her to come back when school starts because it's one thing to stagger our schedules to make sure the kids are cared for, but to add the schooling on top of it again was just too much so we will need help come the end of August.[/quote]
