You can ask, but have some back up ideas in case she says no.

This. And if any of your coworkers or friends try to get in on your arrangement, you better make sure she's paid her rate in full by each family.

Uh, that's not remotely how nanny shares work.

Guess what? The nanny could absolutely charge the other family(ies) her full rate and they would pay it, too. It's not a nanny share, it is the doubling of her work.

So, you’re saying that as long as the nanny drives to your house she should continue to cone to work?

You work 6 hours a day right now, so I assume you are only paid for six hours. That’s why you make peanuts. It’s a pretty sweet gig if you also get room and board.

I also do all the errands, grocery shopping, cooking, laundry etc. schedule/ coordinate home and car maintenance.

That doesn’t take long.

Maybe for you... It depends on how many cars, the size of the home, number of kids, etc.

Really???

Cooking and grocery shopping for a family doesn’t take long? Laundry doesn’t take long? Please tell me how you do 4 loads of laundry quickly?

I'm a nanny to twin babies and both of my parents are working from home for a bit. I will be working as well. There is no quarantine atm and none of us are sick. They absolutely need me.

No way should a nanny who lives with other people and takes public transportation to work come to your house to work.

So, because she is working in their home this means she can't get it? If she gets it then OP Is responsible.

What about the nanny giving the virus to your children from her own family or commute?

Some of you have no clue how quarantines work!

No, your live-out nanny doesn’t work. (And your live-in nanny doesn’t leave).

Nobody is talking about quarantine - as in, you have the virus or are suspected of having it. This would be social distancing where school and gatherings are cancelled and telework is mandated. As long as the nanny isn’t sick, having her come in isn’t crazy.

The incubation period is up to 14 days. You don’t know if the nanny or someone in her family has the virus. Social distancing, according to Scientific American, includes deliveries so it would absolutely include nannies.

Possible exception would be the single nanny who can walk to work (provided she can stay a distance away from other walkers).

Regardless, adding children and families increases your exposure to the virus! Not remotely what quarantine means!!!

This isn’t true. If your nanny lives with other people and commutes to work, she is risking spreading the virus to your family.

Quarantine means everyone stays home. Everyone.

+1

Nanny does not work. And yes, if you still want her to be your nanny when all this is over, you continue to pay her. Same for house cleaners I should add.
