Extra Nanny Precautions due to Surge in Covid cases?

[Anonymous]

Is anyone doing anything different to mitigate risk with their nannies (particularly if your nanny does not live alone) now that there’s a surge in Covid cases in the Metro DC area? Wearing masks and asking nanny to wear one? Asking nanny to stay home either now or for a period of time after the holidays (paid or unpaid)?

Asking your nanny to stay home unpaid means no more nanny.

I truly love my charges and would never endanger them. I have zero problem staying home now and have always worn a mask outside my home or their home.

Just talk to your nanny. I’m sure she loves your kids too and will do what she can to keep your kids and herself safe and healthy.

Yes, but asking nanny to stay home paid also means no nanny. But at least you’d save the $$.

Nothing new. We’ve always been extremely cautious as has our beloved nanny.

At least you would have a nanny who would come back. Ask your nanny to stay home unpaid and you’ll be looking for a new nanny.

No, we are just maintaining your usual routine, which is pretty cautious. We decided not to have any company, partially for the nanny’s comfort level. But other than that we’re just doing her usual thing. Although our nanny is joining us (as a guest) on Christmas day, since we won’t have company and she will be alone.

How do you think your nanny will be able to pay her rent and other expenses, just sitting home unpaid?

Our live-out nanny refuses to get a flu shot and she is insisting on traveling this Christmas. Our child has asthma which requires daily nebulizer treatments and it just has gotten to risky to keep employing her. We will be letting her go at the end of her last day with generous severance.

No flu shot with an asthmatic child, during a respiratory pandemic?!

+2. I would fire that nanny so fast her head would spin.

Dame. Why the generous severance? She doesn’t deserve it.

Agree. The asthma isn’t new, and she knew the child had respiratory issues prior to the pandemic.

You’re both right. I’ll rethink that.
