Nannypoppinz... Susan is verifying covid vaccination for every nanny.


How does one "verify" someone else's covid vaccination?




You physically look at the vaccination card and then cross check with the entity that administered the vaccine. In our case it was a CVS that had a print out of all our nanny’s vaccines and dates.


Interesting. I got my vaccine done at Walgreens (which I would guess operates similar to CVS) and had no idea they would give a printout like that to a third party.

I'd start local - neighborhood parents' listserv, Nextdoor, neighborhood FB pages.

There are other places like broader FB groups for nannies searching or Care.com, but I've had less luck there as far as getting quality, reliable candidates.
