Yes. At least I hope so. Nannies are considered in this category in California and a number of other states.
Not all counties in California have said nannies will fall under childcare. Some like, LA, only consider those in a childcare facility (like daycare) essential for the vaccine under tier 1b1. But local nannies are trying to help with that. We have been on the phone and emailing the county, mayor and public health departments for days now. It looks like LA just forgot about the domestic help.
Also according to them it’s where you work (in LA) not where you live.
This is also, just for LA county. Pasadena, BH, etc have their own take.
It’s going to be a mess.
If you are in California, I’d suggest contacting your local public health department to see if they actually mean nannies when they say childcare.
While California deemed them essential for those who worked for essential parents it may not hold water for the vaccine.

We need to vaccinate according to exposure level. Doctors and healthcare personnel in hospitals, grocery store employees, daycare personnel, teachers, etc. Nannies have much lower risk.
