[quote=Anonymous]I know several people who are going to keep their nanny on for five days for one month to see if the furloughs get lifted. They plan to have her work and use the time to get some things done. If it goes longer than a month and looks like it will continue throughout the full term then most people are looking at cutting back from 5 days to 4 days. Nannies will be much harder hit by what may happen to the contractors. Feds will be furloughed but there will be massive contractor lay offs not furlough. This often means sudden job loss for the nanny too. Feds and contractors don't make huge amounts of money so keeping expensive childcare while they don't need it isn't something they can swing.

If this drags on it will have a huge affect on many service industries and the housing market in this area which was starting to pick up. Its really naive for nannies to think that they will be immune. Its not going to be a good time to be job searching for anyone and many people are at risk. [/quote]
