Nanny here- If you and your kids wear masks, I am happy to wear a mask. If you just want me to wear a mask to protect YOU, but you won’t wear one to protect me? You can go kick rocks. Nannies are crazy in demand right now and it’s super easy to find a new family. Especially for those of us who are educated.

This.

A nanny eats and drinks in your home, so it’s just not practical.

Of course not

No

Only if everyone else in family is wearing a mask.

No way. She’s going to eat and drink, so what’s the point?

No. Our nanny lives alone and is vigilant about social distancing/mask wearing. We formed a clean loop with her where she sees no one aside from us and we see no one aside from her. She also lives close enough to walk to our house.

Does your nanny wear a mask in your home?
