Nanny Taking Kiddos on Public Transportation

[Anonymous]

Our nanny is great and has been with us two years now. She cares for our 3 year old and 7 month old baby. She wants to do a zoo trip with the kiddos, and we definitely approve since it’s all outdoors and not operating at full capacity. However, our nanny doesn’t have a car and we are not walking distance. Has anyone taken their kiddos on the metro these days? How is it? In general I think our nanny and toddler are getting cabin fever and want to go to safe/socially distant activities (pre-pandemic they were always on the go at various activities via bus/train). Just wondering if we should start letting her take the kiddos on the metro again for activities? Another option would be for me and my husband to simply drive them places, which we don’t mind. Thanks!

I wouldn’t take a baby on public transportation now. No, no way. And a toddler who can’t keep from touching everything?! He’ll, no!

It simply is not safe yet. Drive them yourself or call an Uber.

Why would you consider this? Or, an Uber. I wouldn't let little ones go anywhere right now with COVID but if you do let her use one of your cars or drive her.

Take her and drop them off. Work outside at a green space until she calls to say they are heading to the exit.

This it would not be even a question. No way. I wouldn't let my kids be on the metro with all this pandemic around. Your nanny doesn't seems to have common sense.

The nanny?! OP is asking the question - she doesn’t have any more sense than the nanny!

Absolutely not. There is absolutely no way any of us are getting in an enclosed tube for any length of time.

+1. OP is the idiot for even considering it.

Terrible idea on both your nanny and your part . Take a baby on public transport during covid ?! Seriously !???

Is there a reason you don’t simply write “kids”? It’s shorter and more dignified.

Most children are not dignified.

Does the Nanny drive and just doesnt have a car or doesnt drive?
If she drives and you are working from home I would let her take your car. ( or spouses, whatever works)

I would not be ok with public transportation right now.

Easy. You drop them off and you pick them up.
