[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband and I are expected to work full-time, so our nanny is still coming (and much needed.)

We cut back her hours, are not having her do any grocery runs or errands, and have asked her not to do her part-time jobs (Lyft and a few hours of caregiving for an Alzheimer's patient.)  We are compensating her for 6 weeks of lost income from Lyft.

She has a roommate so is not a fully closed loop, but she is also exceedingly diligent about minimizing risk to the fullest extent possible.  So we are comfortable with the level of risk.  We cannot afford to not do our jobs and [b]can't do full-time work and full-time childcare for our elementary age kids[/b].[/quote]

Why?  My husband and I both work full-time and our jobs have been busier than ever with what has been going on given what we do.  We're working from home, but we still aren't having our nanny come (of course we're paying her what she earned before this).  Four weeks in, it's hard, but it's not impossible.  I think people who say they "can't" work without their nanny (with elementary age kids?!?) are kind of pathetic.[/quote]

NP here, but we have also kept our nanny. Whether you do or do not think I'm pathetic has zero effect on my life, but stew away.[/quote]
