Hats off to the nannies who’ve continued working through this!

I cannot tell you how much we appreciate it and see what you’ve done for us.

How much have you increased their hourly rate for risking their lives? $000000.00! Money talks and not some measly week's bonus at Christmas

I am not a nanny and I pay my cleaning $100 extra every week for coming to my house to clean.

Not the point of the thread but good for you for paying your cleaning person well.

Can we leave money out of this (for once)?

No. Nannies work for money not "atta girls"! If they have gone above and beyond their contracted cities, they should be paid as well as being thanked.

I’m a nanny and I disagree. My job got harder but not different (like a lot of jobs). I can’t depend on playgrounds or playgroups, library story times or music classes, so I’ve had to create those benefits for my charge with just us. My employers being home hasn’t been an issue in the slightest as we’re all adults with jobs to do.

I appreciate the words and gestures of acknowledgement and appreciation and absolutely don’t expect one penny more because circumstances beyond my employers control made my job harder.
