I am the nanny in a 3 way share and this is our proposed plan.
Share moves to largest house, and I move in. MB of largest house wfh and DB, who can not wfh is moving into a hotel. Babies are dropped at door, only to me, where I then change their clothes and wash them down before going into playroom. All supplies are kept at largest house where I wash and sanitize everything (literally) each night. No one is allowed anywhere but sleeping area and playroom. Share babies arrive and leave in 15min spans so no one is at the door at the same time. Hand washing for babies is every hour, for nanny is every 30 min (outside of diapers, food, etc). It’s basically as sterile an environment as possible. I’ve waived all overnight fees and will just get standard pay (even though my weeks will be up roughly 20hrs due to all of the extra cleaning at night). When it’s over, I’m taking an extra week off, paid, because I’m going to be wore out. |
For how many weeks/months can you keep this up? Sounds like an enormous sacrifice on YOUR part! They owe you more than a week off. |
Right now it’s for 30 days. The sacrifice on my end is enormous- I have children I won’t see during this time. Thankfully they are HS and college age and can fend for themselves with some neighbor over-sight. |
I'm sorry you sound like a doormat. In days there's going to be martial law, looting and God only knows what else. No way I would leave my children to care for some other child. Next time pay attention in your contract so in events like this you can stay home and still be paid |
I am not a doormat, and this was *my* suggested plan. I work for infectious disease physicians -the very people who will treat YOU and your loved ones should you contract corona. I will get paid regardless of whether I stay home and self isolate or help my employers so they can continue working. I take immense pride in my work ethic. |
That's absurd Dad is moving and paying for a hotel. That's a lot of money. Kids are going to bring the germs from outside to good plan but not fool proof. |
I’m calling BS. You are employed by multiple doctors in a THREE way share arrangement? Riiiiight. |
We are under social distancing protocol, not isolation protocol. Your nanny can still come. The idea is to slow the spread, not stop it. No large groups. But nanny coming is fine. |
Kudos! |
I also call BS. Doctors can afford they’re own nanny. |
^their |
Sorry to burst your bubble, the share is between friends, and the babies are all within 6 weeks age difference. It gives everyone playmates and me a very healthy salary. I started with one family and other two joined a few months ago. |
If your employers are all doctors why haven’t they explained to you how children are getting it but asymptomatic. They are seemingly healthy and transmitting to others. So your plan is great in theory, but you very well could already be caring for three infected babies and you won’t know it until you or one of your doctor employers start feeling seriously ill. |
You need to increase your hourly rate 100 percent. |
I think you're great and I'm sorry people are giving you a hard time. When you work for a wonderful family or families in your case you go out of your way for them as they do for you. Anyway good luck! |
