[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an extremely covid-precautious nanny for myself as well as my charges (one is a newborn).

I live alone and see no one but my nanny-family and they see no one but me.  I spent the holidays with them.  I am masked every single time I’m outside of their home or mine.  I go to the grocery store just once a week in the early morning for myself and my toddler charge.  My employers go just once a week for themselves.  Everything else is ordered and delivered.  My charges and I play outside but never around other people.

It’s so hard!  And so lonely for me but I simply cannot risk giving covid to the children I love.

My advice, OP, is to look for an educated nanny who lives alone and either drives or walks to work.  [/quote]

Thank you so much (this is OP).  You brought tears to my eyes---truly!!! [/quote]

May I ask how much you get paid--this will give me a good sense of what we should offer given the precautions needed.[/quote]

My rate didn’t increase because of covid, OP.  I’ve always been on the higher end (now at $32 an hour) due to my education and teaching experience.   I started with one newborn two years ago at $30.

All the best to you.  [/quote]

Thank you, this is super helpful.  Do you belong to an agency.  Where would one find the hiigher end  nannies?[/quote]
