You are a caring boss and your nanny is very lucky. I’ve been with my family about the same length of time and the expect me to be here, no matter what. I’m willing to do that, but they refuse to limit their social activities or that of the kids. They will be working from home and schools will be closed. They plan to be out and about. I’m limiting myself to work and right home. It’s an impossible situation and very upsetting.

I’d be looking for a new position.



+1. You’re working for self-centered idiots.


The irony PP is not at all self centered interviewing with multiple new families and risk spreading the virus.

Wondering about this too. Our nanny has one child in the same school district as ours. She doesn’t have family here, but has some friends. DH and I will both be teleworking. We offered to have her bring her daughter here during the day. They would just be coming back and forth from their house to ours. We presumably wouldn’t be going anywhere unless necessary. We’d supply food and other daily consumables, obviously. She’s open to it, but we will all wait and see. If anyone of us shows symptoms of anything, everyone will have to stay home.

You offer a fat bonus if she agrees to isolate herself from potential risky situations, as much as possible.

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



Social distancing, if she lives alone or has a wah spouse? Absolutely. Quarantine? No.

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.


Great - sounds like you want the job. Post your email for when PP quits.

I actually thought this was about nerves about having a nanny work during Coronavirus. We have part time nanny who babysits a lot of families and an immune compromised relative living with us. We are debating giving her off a few weeks.

Expect to offer a generous bonus to any nanny who agrees to limit her social life for you.

Anonymous wrote:My understanding is that we are supposed to stay home - no food deliveries or trips to even the grocery store (the advice to stockpile for two weeks). So, no, the nanny shouldn’t be commuting from her home to yours. She could get the virus from her family and spread it to yours and so much worse if she takes public transportation.

Our nanny walks to work and lives alone which I think is safer but she’s agreed to move in with us if there is a quarantine


But she will still shop, maybe get her hair cut meanwhile? Did you buy enough supplies for an additional adult? Have you asked her about any comfort foods she might want for two stressful weeks?

Sounds like more families will be looking to bribe a nanny to put up with live-in arrangements, and commit to extensive social distancing.

For the right price you can find almost anything.
