[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not lie to prospective employers about your living situation.
It wouldn’t be fair.

You can always tell prospective employers that you are renting a room & that you have your own bathroom which may sound better to them.

We are all navigating through this mess of uncharted territory together.
It seems nothing is truly right or wrong in certain situations -
We all just need to make the best of the hand we are dealt.

Good luck.[/quote]

This is good advice.

Really what you're talking about is finding a match in attitude between nanny and family. This is always important for all kinds of things (smoking, discipline, sleep training, screen time, outside time/driving safety) and now we have to add to that list risk management and overall approach to mitigating exposure. If either side (nanny or parents) are mismatched in their attitudes it won't be a good fit - so far better to just add this to the things you look for in interviews.

So, parents who are comfortable w/ their kids being in outdoor camps, at the pool, and maybe playing with one or two friends who have similarly quarantined would probably be comfortable with OP's approach. Parents who have been fully quarantined and trying to keep risks to an absolute minimum would not.

This is about getting through the short term also, with an eye to the long-term. Hopefully the kinds of measures we're all taking now will only be needed for a few more months, which changes the nature of a long-term hire.  It's all about finding fit, similar approach, and overall comfort.  That starts with candor and trust on all sides.[/quote]
