Yes, ours is coming and we are so lucky to have her. She just free plays with 3yo all day, inside and outside, and he has a blast.

A nanny is basically part of the immediate family in terms of social distancing.

Not unless she actually lives in your house and never leaves it.

Please.

Thank you, Nanny, and a collective thank you to all the nannies out there who are so devoted to our children.

+2. It’s nice to hear an employer do something other than criticize.

And a nanny do something other than complain.

True for both.

Our nanny is not coming, by our choice, not hers. She has been with us for a number of years (our kids are all tweens/teens now), and has a long and annoying history of coming to work sick and hiding it from us so that she doesn't have to take sick leave (which is paid by us for a certain number of days per year). We are paying her ($28 per hour/40 per week) for now to stay at home. We may ultimately have to let her go if this drags on for more than a month, as we expect it to (our finances are down as well).

I'm in a similar situation. My nanny insists she has been very careful and distancing herself, along with her roommate. BUT, I also found my nanny heating up milk in plastic bottles after I repeatedly asked her to only use glass for heat, so, I simply don't trust her enough.

Why do you even have plastic bottles?

Ours is coming. We drive to pick her up and drop her off so she doesn’t have to metro (she doesn’t drive) and she is also practicing social distancing in her off hours.

We gave our nanny the choice.
