I nanny. Am I eligible to receive the covid-19 vaccine?

[Anonymous]

I live in Fairfax county and work as a nanny in Arlington county. The Fairfax county website says "Family Childcare Providers" can sign-up to receive one of the Covid-19 Vaccines. Does Fairfax county define a Nanny as a "Family Childcare Provider" ?

I have already signed up on the Fairfax County website.

I have been working throughout the Pandemic and I have considered myself essential.

Thanks for answering my question.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think anyone checks once you show up for the appointment and I'd say just do it! Good for you for getting the vaccine.

Last I knew, they were defining daycare as employees in large centers and family childcare as in-home daycare. You aren’t either, so maybe call and ask before going?

I’m a nanny and I got an email to schedule my vaccination appointment
I also know a few nannies who already got the first and second dose

You are not eligible. That is a fact. But, you can go ahead and be like many others and just jump the line. Personally, I find it immoral but go for it.

I'm in MoCo MD and if my employer writes a letter for me stating that I am a child care worker I may be able to get the vaccine sooner than simply waiting for notification through the country. And no it's not immoral. People getting the vaccine is a good thing not a bad thing.

If her employers are essential and work outside the home then she should definitely get the vaccine.

We gave a letter to our nanny to be vaccinated. Said she provided in-home childcare for our family. We are both essential workers and our children go to preschool part time in-person. We have asked her to accept a high level of risk by working for our family. If she could get the vaccine, it would help us bubble our kids since my husband and I were vaccinated in 1A.

They vaccinated her in Arlington. It has taken our stress level down a notch knowing that our kids won't expose an unvaccinated person in our home and we won't accidentally expose her and not know it.

I signed up. If I remember I will post what happens next.

According to Whitehouse Nannies, nannies are eligible.

I'm essential. Shouldn't my husband get the vaccine too then under your rationale? Shouldn't anyone who lives with an essential worker? See how that doesn't work...

It's immoral and if I knew my nanny did this I'd have a very hard time continuing to employ them. Wait your turn just like everyone else has to.

There is something wrong with you.

Why oh why does there always have to be one bad apple in the proverbial basket?
This comment is so unnecessary.

Hopefully OP has a tough skin & realizes that this comment is from an unhappy coward, sitting behind a computer screen w/nothing better to do with their days than to spew hate and try to make others on this specific forum feel bad.

Nannies are essential and should have been categorized with childcare providers- that’s what they are. Assuming your husband works from home, he isn’t at risk at exposing others- nanny still has to go home to her family. Your comment was rude.
