[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and I am super surprised by the responses on this. The nanny is being paid and has been in communication with the family and doing other work this week. She isn’t on vacation and it is not realistic for her to expect the entire week off for this. I think it is perfectly fine to ask this and think any nanny worth her apt would be fine with it. [/quote]

The nanny does not want to get Covid!  She’s helping out where she can but asking her to be exposed is simply not right.  Jesus, it’s ten days max!  OP can’t keep her kids occupied for one week?!  [/quote]

The kid doesn’t have Covid [/quote]

Yet.  The kid is living in the same house with his sibling with Covid which is why he can’t go back to school.  [/quote]

They are isolated from each other. And before you say “we don’t know how well isolated”— that may be true, but the nanny probably does. She is much better able to evaluate whether it’s likely this child has spent much time with the sibling, whether the parents are requiring everyone to mask indoors, etc. Some people would be extremely cautious and others would not be, but their nanny would definitely know which one it was. We don’t.

I see no issue with asking snd if the nanny says no, totally respect it. But taking a masked child with no symptoms to an outdoor playground doesn’t sound like a big deal at all. I’d do this daily if I were this nanny, to give the parents a break and to make sure the child was getting exercise and outdoor time, which I’d worry she wasn’t getting enough of while in quarantine.[/quote]
