[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the process of putting together a list of job requirements as part of a nanny search, but I've had some trouble figuring out how best to address COVID considerations.  My wife and I would characterize ourselves as fairly restrictive when it comes to COVID protocols (e.g., minimize trips outside the home, wear masks and social distance when outside the home, very limited gatherings with family who follow quarantine and mask-wearing protocols).  However, we realize that there are practical limitations to imposing certain of these requirements on a nanny who will be coming to our home on a daily basis (e.g., taking breaks to eat/drink, feeding and holding baby, wife and I will be working from home).  We also recognize that there are certain developmental benefits for baby that would be lost if a nanny were to wear a mask, not have close physical interactions with the baby, etc.  How have folks approached this issue?  In particular, I'd be interested to know if you've considered any of the following:

-Require masks at all times in the home (except where necessary to eat/drink)
-Require regular COVID testing
-No masks required, but handwashing required and commitment to social distancing/wearing masks outside home
-Limitations on outside activities with family and friends
