[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here, Since Covid began, I have added Covid clauses to my employment contract(s) so families and Nannies fully understand expectations and agree in advance should Nanny or any family members get Covid. Its worked great! I am fully Vacc'd and double boosted and require proof of the same for all household members over age 5. I am paid and don't work if any family member gets Covid (guaranteed hrs), until entire family tests negative. If I get COVID, I am paid for up to ten paid days and return to work only after testing negative. These conditions have been revised to apply "per occurrence" as the family has contracted COVID multiple times.    [/quote]

What happens if you bring Covid into the household and infect everyone?  Asking because our nanny is traveling soon and will be visiting many family members, some of whom will be indoors and unvaccinated. [/quote]

Great question! In my case, I coordinate with and inform the family (employer) of my intent to travel and the circumstances and ask them to let me know in advance what they would prfer for me to do (ie) wear a mask for 5-10 days following return, testing, etc. Knowing that I work in someone else's home, I personally am hyper vigilent with covid vaccination. I always wear a mask outside my home and avoid being anywhere in close proximity to unvaccinated or unknown status population.  COVID is tricky since we  can all be exposed without knowing. It is why it is so important to communicate expectations in advance. I think grace and being reasonable in all circumstances is important. FYI...There are labor laws enacted to address employers requirements for paid sick leave due to Covid that can be found at DOL-Families First Coronavirus Response. Good Luck.  [/quote]
