[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be in a huge bind if our wonderful nanny asked for another week off.  This covid pandemic has been so stressful for us.  DH and I live in panic that we’re going to lose our jobs or be furloughed and struggle to work from home. We have no backup because both sets of grandparents are over 65 and two have health issues.  Our nanny has been absolutely brilliant during all this and we couldn’t be more appreciative.  I know it’s been hard on her with no playgrounds, library, classes, play dates and us in the house but she has handled it and adjusted better than we have!

Nanny is going to get a huge bonus and another five years at least of job security as I’m pregnant again.  I’d love to give her the moon but couldn’t handle things without her for even a week this summer.  [/quote]

That's really lovely of you to acknowledge your Nanny's value to your family.   Please please just be mindful that your Nanny needing time off does not lessen her value.  Sometimes we put our best self forward during the day and we get home and are bone tired and have to drag ourselves through the evening and try to recuperate as best as we can to make the next day with your children the best one that it can be.

I say all this to say that while its nice to state how much you appreciate your Nanny, be mindful too that she may need a little extra time off while dealing with this very stressful period in ALL our lives.  Consider her needs as well![/quote]
