OP here. We did line up back up care and nanny had three PCR tests at five, seven and ten days post exposure. Obviously she is symptom free. She’ll come back tomorrow and won’t mask.

I’d have her get a PCR again six or seven days after exposure and if it’s negative, and you really need her to get back and are willing to take the risk, have her wear a mask for another few days after that. Also maybe have her do at home rapids a couple times.


+1. I wouldn’t want to deal with Covid in my household during the holidays.

This is not entirely accurate. Fully vaccinated people are supposed to PCR test and also wear masks after exposure.




Nanny tested negative. She’s okay to come back to work now.

She’s fine. If she were working at an elementary school in Fairfax County, she’d come to work as long as she is asymptomatic. In 3-5 days after exposure, she’d test. She’d still come to work everyday as long as she could answer the health screening questions.

We are not all going to get covid eventually!! And OP has very young unvaccinated children.


But to OP, yes your nanny is fine.


We absolutely are and you need to come to terms with that now so you don’t write one of those obnoxious Twitter threads despairing that someone as morally correct and upright as you could possibly have gotten covid despite being SO CAREFUL this whole time!!!! It was definitely the fault of the selfish idiots who refuse to #MaskUp and #StayTheF*ckHome!

(no, it’s a virus being a virus and no amount of moral righteousness makes you immune, sorry!!!)

Stop embarrassing yourself, PP. Calm down and find he’s healthier outlets for your rage against other people.

Yes we literally are all going to get Covid eventually. That's how this "ends" - there's no path to avoiding cases forever, just avoiding bad outcomes through vaccines, therapeutics, and keeping the curve from spiking such that hospitals can't cope.

And the risks to very young children are absolutely miniscule.

People really need to get their heads around this. Complete case avoidance is not a realistic outcome at this point.

Saying you're not going to get covid is like saying you're never going to get a single flu strain for the rest of your life.

Kids get no sicker from covid than from flu. I really wish people, especially parents, would chill out about this. We're ruining our kid's childhoods over this.

You probably other confirmation from your pediatrician by now but yes, it’s fine for nanny to come back to work.

Our nanny got the booster two weeks before she was exposed. She’s tested negative in self and PCR tests but it’s only been four days since her exposure. Should she work tomorrow? She’s been off on vacation but scheduled to come back tomorrow. Obviously she feels fine and misses the kids (1 and 3). I have a call into our pediatrician but won’t here back until the end of the day and need to line up backup care before 2PM today for tomorrow.
