We have a college sitter now. We usually only use her in the summer but she is home because her school closed and we need childcare so thank God she is here.
She washes her hands when she arrives which is really all I can ask her to do. She is very sensible so I have to trust that she is trying to be as safe as she can.

Just look for a nanny...

The college student might be being even more cautious than you are. My DD is only walking in our neighborhood and always wearing a mask. I’m immune compromised and she also has a risk factor, but less serious. She was a counselor for rising kindergarteners last summer at one of major DC private school camps and has tons of babysitting experience. Internships she had lined up have been canceled, so she is going to take online classes from her university and try to do some childcare, though not full time like you need. She can’t be the only cautious college student looking for summer work. I’d start with a neighborhood listserv if you have one or work or church networks. Good luck.

Assuming my kids don't have camp I will need to find some kind of help for summer since I have to work full time and can't entertain them 24/7. Everyone says to find a college student or someone who would have been a camp counselor. Kids are 4 and 6 and need someone fun who will play with them, do crafts and help them burn off energy.

It sounds great in theory, but do you think it's too risky to bring someone young (let's say 18-24) into our house who may not be as careful about social distancing and/or protecting themself from getting sick? I imagine we won't be sheltering at home anymore in July (at least not like now) so as things ease up it will be even harder to trust others in terms of precautions they are taking to stay healthy and how much they are putting themselves at risk.

How would you feel about this? And, what's acceptable in terms of risk?
