[quote=Anonymous]Federal Covid Sick Pay (for 2 weeks) and FMLA expanded act due to Covid (up to 12 weeks) APPLY HERE! There are criteria under both for workers who have minor children whose schools are closed due to Covid.  The employer can pay 2/3 of salary and get a future tax credit for those payments.  
OP - I'm so sorry.  You are in an impossible situation.  I'd strongly consider looking into this paid leave for either YOU, your NANNY, or BOTH.
Your nanny would qualify because she has a minor child she is taking care of due to Covid.  You would pay her at 2/3 and receive a future tax credit.  Maybe that would free up your finances in the long run to hire someone else without kids to help you in the interim.
OR if your employer has less than 500 employees you likely qualify yourself.  
I hope that this might provide some options for you.
And just know that TV, iPads, etc are your friends.  There is no thing as too much screen time during this crisis.  Pay the older to play with the youngers or "babysit" in a safe room for 10 min.  A quarter if no one cries.  Whatever you can do to keep everyone alive at the end of the day.
Sending hugs.
