Not PP, but this scary report just came out today: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/03/17/coronavirus-looks-different-kids-than-adults/

Infants are especially at risk: Of special interest to pediatricians is a group of seven infants (11 percent of the total number of infants in the study), and two children in the age 1 to 5 range (15 percent), who progressed to critical condition. The study suggests, the authors wrote, that “young children, particularly infants, were vulnerable.

If you have space, consider hiring a live-in nanny to avoid someone coming and going from the home. She would quarantine with the family.

I hope you fire her. She deserves it.

You have to have the conversation with your nanny - not us. Our nanny lives with her elderly mother and it would’ve been criminal to make her come to work around us. She’s being paid her full salary but is at home with her family.

It’s a pandemic. Every situation has to be looked at differently.

Not to derail, but wondering what all the opinions are of someone hiring a new nanny to watch your kids during this time. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's better than two kids at two different schools with hundreds of other people, right?

I would consider her part of your household and continue to have her come.

Of course. Both of you need to work, so she needs to work. Make sure you all distance yourselves otherwise.

We have a nanny that comes in while DH and I are at work. He telework and I go in since I am in healthcare. Is it ok having the nanny come in while we work to take care of our toddlers? She drives or ubers here...
