[quote=Anonymous]I appologize if this is a long post, but I can offer insight from various perspectives-

Personally, as a mom myself (2.5yo and 9 week old) I can totally empathize with your concerns. We have kept our nanny on her regular schedule throughout the pandemic (including during my maternity leave). We have not required her to wear a mask. We have had regular check-ins about all of our personal activities and agreed to be on the same page as far as no large gatherings, seeing friends outside only, keeping a close family bubble, masks in public, frequent hand washing, and being completely transparent with one another about any possible symptoms.

Professionally, I run a local nanny agency. We have placed over 80 nannies during the pandemic. Of those, only one family has required their nanny to wear a mask in their home. We have had 4 instances of COVID issues. Two of those, the parents brought it home and exposed the nanny and the other two were the nanny having possible exposures, but neither ever got it. Now I'm happy to report that about 70% of our candidates are vaccinated.

I hope that helps![/quote]
