[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im OP. My kids are 1 and 3.

We have been through a f[b]ew nannies that we liked, but weren't as covid safe as the daycare we are in[/b] (older DD was there pre pandemic). My kids were getting no social time because we didnt know if the random park friends were on our risk level/vaccinated etc.

I feel guilt that im not there with them. Mostly with my 1yo. 3yo is in love with the place!!! But my 1yo... I just see her toddling around there and feel like I have abandoned her. It just feels so wrong. I honestly want to cry just thinking about it

With all due respect, this is weird. One point of contact vs dozens is automatically safer. If a nanny is vaxed now, it's far safer. But I would suggest therapy to get to the heart of your concerns. I don't really think it's normal for parents to drop their kids off for an entire day with strangers no matter what the situation, but this is the reality of our society and kids seem to do just fine. You sound like a great mother, FWIW.[/quote]
