[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do an au pair, nanny share, or in home daycare. It all seems negligible with the older kids in two different school classes anyway[/quote] OP here - The biggest issue is that the youngest can't mask. The older two mask and mask well and wear KN95 masks, even outside with other kids. So, we are limiting exposure as much as we can also trying to balance their other needs. The toddler can't mask yet, so she is the biggest risk if she is in group care. Having a nanny greatly reduces this risk. I would love to have a house that allows for live-in and I would love to be able to afford 24/7 care for MIL (for so so so many reasons). But, here we are. I was hoping someone would have some ideas about how to sell other perks (which I also understand are not totally perks because not being an awful boss should not be a selling point, but I know we have all heard stories. I do think having a sane, flexible, caring boss is important and does have some value - now if that value is 5 dollars / hour less than market value or not... not sure. But with some of the people I worked with.. I mean, yes, maybe? anyway. I appreciate the ideas and that people are trying to help me figure this out. If any more come up, please let me know. [/quote]
