[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Recent PPs are talking about safety of transportation on a snow day though perhaps as a tangent and not in direct response to my post.  Just to reiterate, our nanny had an underground subway commute, which the Mayor deemed safe enough not to shut down (he shut down above-ground transportation).  She actually lives < 5 miles from us on local roads (no highway) so either way, car or subway, I felt the commute was safe enough to ask her to come in.  I also found out after the fact that her walk to the subway is 0.1 mile... :roll: [/quote]

She didn't feel safe.  You were at home so its easy for you to say its safe for someone else as its no risk to you. You are selfish.[/quote]

OP.  I took my kid for a walk that day about an hour before nanny would have had to head out of her home.  Also saw other young kids out and about.  Figured if 2-4 year olds could walk in those conditions, a grown woman without a kid in tow (as I was) could manage a distance shorter than our walk...[/quote] 2-4 yr old kids bounce. I'd they break a bone it's not a big deal. If an adult breaks a bone not only is it expensive to have it set and all the follow up appts cost money as does physical therapy once the cast comes off, but there's also missed time off work, potentially not being able to cook and care for yourself. Please don't compare a wealthy toddlers snow experience to that of an adult living on the fringes paycheck to paycheck. There's a lot of things I won't do as an adult because I can't risk getting hurt and all the costs associated with that. [/quote]

Oh, please. Even the po' folks need to have weather-appropriate shoes. I do not believe for a minute that she was planning to stay inside her house until every last patch of ice and snow melted. And I assume if she broke her leg on the way to work, OP's workman's comp would cover her.

BTW, it's much more likely one of you poor, poor nannies will be injured in a car accident. Most accidents happen on residential streets close to home. Do you not drive yourself to work?[/quote] nope, don't own a car. and workers comp only covers on the job not commute.[/quote]
