Your unvaccinated kids are an equal risk to her as she is to the kids. More, depending on your lifestyle choices. If you don't like it, find someone else.

116 employees are suing a hospital about being told to get Covid Vaccine or job. You could be sued.

I guess all the employers now know who not to hire in the future.

Nanny employment is at will. Nanny can quit for any reason and we can fire for any reason. It’s in our contract. Clearly there is not a fit between the needs of the family and the nanny. Time to part ways.

There's also a difference between healthcare mandating vaccines vs others along with the differences in number of employees.

As a nanny myself; I would move on. Talk to her and tell her you would love having her working for you; but if she is not willing to get the vaccine "I am sorry" but we are on differents pages. Just tell her, she is free to look for another family who don't requiere one but for you it wouldn't work. Do it for the best for your family.

Would you keep that nanny employed? Would you bring it up to her and if after a conversation she still doesn’t see the reason for hand washing at all you still want to employ her.

While it’s definitely not the same thing (hand washing and vaccines); when you hire someone (or when you get employment) you’re looking at how this person will fit how their beliefs will fit into yours. Sometimes even the best nanny doesn’t work for all families. Even Mary poppins wouldn’t have worked for all families.

When belief styles/parenting styles start to veer apart - that’s when it’s best to part ways. Move on now before things turn into resentment (on both sides). That is what’s best for your kids.


Let’s say you hire a nanny that doesn’t believe in car seats or seatbelts or safe sleep or swim safety.

Would you still keep or even hire that nanny?

Just sit her down and tell her that you LOVE how great she is with the kids, and think she's an excellent employee. But if she's not willing to get vaccinated, you're going to have to look for a nanny who is, but you'd really rather not do that.

I'd point out to her that the majority of people I know (myself included) who've gotten vaccinated HAVE had side effects, but they are gone within 36-72 hours.

I'll be honest - I could not have done a physical job the day after I got vaccinated either time. But I did not take any time off from work. So be prepared to give her two paid days off after each shot.

Start looking for another nanny who is fully vaccinated. Your family and children must be your priority.

So you do have choices.

1- replace her

2- require her to wear a mask at all times she’s working- inside and out (parks walks etc). No sharing food or drinks with children. Her meals are to be separate from kids so she wears a mask while they eat.

Make sure to update your contract.

I’d also put in the contract, an added Covid clause. Nanny care hub on Facebook has one.
