Happened to us. We both still have to work and can't juggle two little kids for more than a couple weeks. We have the nanny severance and hired a new one.

OP never said that her DH has a problem taking care of his kids. She said they are struggling to pay since he lost his income.

Why are you so bitter?


Losing a business is hard. Finding yourself in unforeseen circumstances is hard. And staying with your (young) children 24/7, not allowed to take them out, when you’re used to going to wrk everyday is very hard. So yeah, I feel sorry for that guy too. And I applaud them for continuing to think of their nanny in the midst of their own financial and mental situations.


You can take your kids outside. Stop being dramatic. Its not hard staying with your young kids and many parents enjoy it. The money issue is real but hopefully they have savings.

PP here and of course. However, the "such a tragedy!" poster was obviously not echoing this sentiment, and that is what I was responding to.

This is is. DH lost his business so down to one income and he can provide the childcare. We're still paying our nanny for now even though she's not coming, but that will have to end soon.


Lol you’ve had a significant income reduction, and your nanny isn’t coming but you’re still paying her? While contemplating that this might have to end soon? Are you stupid??

Regardless, we’ll get the go-ahead to return to a very modified normal before schools reopen.

This is a new situation for everyone, OP. Talk to your nanny.


Ridiculous! The nanny has to stay the rest of the year not seeing her husband or children or friends? You are an idiot.



Oh, calm down, Drama Deb. That is not what I said. I said it’s harder to police the actions of nanny’s family. You can trust your nanny when she says she’s socially distanced but not necessarily her 17 yr old son. And no one should be seeing their friends, idiot.

How is your income changing? If you are losing your job and don't need child care, let her go.

Do you need your nanny to come back in the summer when you’re back to work?

Our nanny doesn’t live alone. That’s the problem.

what do we do? Paying her until the end of the school year seems tough since our income is changing due to everything being closed.
