She's trying to screw you over paycheck. Get your check and start looking for new job.

I don’t understand why everyone is being mean to OP. The MB sounds super-rude. I agree she should have called and expressed herself much better.
OP, you should demand the check and quit. Plenty of people are looking for help now.

Yes, she was completely rude saying it that way. And not nice at all even telling you When you have to come back. Or at least letting you know "until further notice". And let you wondering and worried if you still have the Job? .. only with a very cold and rude Text. A nice MB should have called you and have talk about it over the phone and explain what it's her concern that you come back or not. Respect who you are and give her a call asking her what are their thoughts, if you still have the Job or she is giving you those weeks without pay. If I was you, I would quit anyway and start looking for another Job. As this showed the lack of respect and communication from their part. Good luck.

OP had someone visit from out of the country and could put kids and family at high risk. Its a very part time job.

OP here
I’m also surprised at these first rude answers
Like what nanny thinks it was acceptable of the MB to act this way? No nanny will like that!!!!
Yes I had someone from out of town
But the kids went to school despite someone having tested positive in their school district
They had play dates
Parents still
Going to offices
Mom went to NYC for work recently taking train
Good shopping
They order take outs
Kids have play dates
The parents of kids play dates came to the house
So sorry, but they weren’t really showering and running themselves with alcohol every second either
And totally not responsible with not getting germs
Plus at the end of the day I’m upset how my MB treated me
I wanted to call both parents early in the morning to discuss the two weeks and trumps 15 days of social distancing
But she beat me to it with a ride
Don’t come to my house
I’m still trying to get these two weeks paid, I mean even if it’s severance I still don’t know if I have a job! And I asked!
But I am definitely quitting even if I’ll get these two weeks paid

They are the parents. MB could have been nicer, but you don't come across as wonderful yourself.

Get your paycheck and move on.

And duh, if people would inform themselves, the virus hasn’t infected kids yet and it’s ALL over the place
Testing 1k people out of 330 million like really
A parent in the kids school had the virus, they cleaned the schools and disinfected everything and the next day they left the kids back into the freshly clean disinfected school, and she’s worried about me driving my mom to the airport
The kids had sport games in gym with hundreds other kids and parents watching, people coughing and sneezing all over the gym
The kids have been in school this Thursday
The kids have been playing with other kids, and had at least 6 kids over for play dates and neighbors who live around cake over to play
The parents been going to their offices and shopping all week

I should have mentioned that before

So you still think it was nice of MB to tel me
Don’t come to my house

During a pandemic and when the president of the United States called it a national emergency?

Is this how other nannies were treated? I’m reading about nannies and employers coming to agreements and talking through it

I’m just really annoyed and want to see how other nannies have been treated

Not required to have a friendly conversation?!?!?!
So how are all the bosses and their nannies handling this situation?
I was ready for work and I was ready to discuss what’s going to happen
She decided to send me a nasty text saying not to come to her house
Is this how other nannies want to be treated?
A text just saying...we decided for you to stay home and come pick up your check
Would have been much nicer than telling me
Don’t come to my house

Don’t you think so?!?!??

They have young kids and are scared. You don't have kids. Your mom flew in and stayed with you/had close contact which puts you at greater risk for the virus. You probably also went out with your mom, which is their concern. There is clearly more to this story but if they were your kids would you want someone who recently traveled around your kids?

You are incorrect. The virus has infected many, many children, and some of them have become critically ill. Some will have permanent organ damage. And children over the age of nine have died. Saying that "kids don't get this" is absolutely wrong. You have not been paying attention.

Your MB is scared. She was rude, but this is a scary time.

So you think bring scared is a valid reason for not paying OP money SHE has already earned? You are as big a jerk as her MB.

You were at the AIRPORT. She is terrified th at you will bring c virus into the home she didn’t handle this well but she was probably dealing with her own crises and fears at the same time. I dint believe you about past paychecks. You list my sympathy at that pist. If a miscommunication then tell her to put check in mail. Move on
