[quote=Anonymous]O p, I get where you are coming from. If we lost income and were in your situation we would stress over what to do re nanny. However it wasn't easy to find a good one....we had to interview and talk to a lot of candidates before settling on the woman we hired. She is great with our son, and I would be fearful of losing her and going through the whole process again of finding someone who, for all practical purposes, sees our kid more during the week than we do. We pay more for a nanny than daycare so that we can have one one care for our son provided by someone we trust, that's not an easy job to fill.

Another thing is that our contract w our nanny states that we have to give her two weeks notice if we are to let her go. Conversely, she is to give us two weeks notice if she is to leave. Seeing as we have no idea how long the shutdown will last, how do we know it will go long enough that it would be financially beneficial to let her go and find someone new? Because I'm going to assume that if we 'furloughed' her, she would look for a new employer, and rightly so. She's great, so I'd assume she wouldn't have problems finding a new job.
