Actually you are wrong. For the next two weeks any employee can file for sick leave. A nanny has to consider the health of herself and her family and you should be more concerned about the health of your children than your job and not want additional people in your home.

Try firing your nanny for taking sick leave in them next two weeks. You will be a pariah in your social circle.

And I am a nanny who freely volunteered to work my normal hours as I live alone and walk or drive to work. I am limiting my exposure on weekends to protect myself as well as my charge.

What are you rambling about? Everyone cannot just take sick leave. You have to be sick to take sick leave. Many people have jobs that are required to be in the office. A nanny is working in a home and far less risk than someone in an office. I would absolutely fire a nanny who is working in my home if they refused to come. People have nannies so when these situations happen, they are always covered with child care. If your employer doesn't work and loses their job because of you, you are the first expense that will get cut.

We are facing a pandemic, PP. Your nanny has the right to refuse to work and protect her own family.

I am absolutely certain -in just reading your two written paragraphs - that she will be so much happier away from you.

There is a huge difference between working in a family home with 1-3 kids and a day care center, school or office. Parents have to work. Some have no option and need child care. They don't have the luxury of telling their nanny to take 2-6 weeks off. They will not have a job. What part of that don't you understand?

I don’t understand your disregard for your children’s well being not your disrespect for your nanny. You do have the luxury of caring for your own children. Millions of daycare parents are doing it. What part of that do you not understand?

We have to go into work. I cannot just take off several weeks. One hires a nanny so they will always have child care in situations like this. Maybe you shouldn't be a nanny. Many child care centers are closed as they are group settings. If my nanny chose not to work, that's ok but she will either be replaced or she will not have a job to go back to as if I don't go to work I lose my job. Do you not understand how the chain works? A nanny in a private home is far safer than most jobs outside your personal home. I have the luxury of caring for my kids but my nanny will not have a job. Think about it.

You hired a nanny for a situation like a global pandemic? Tell us what you do for a living and we’ll tell you if you need to go in.

My employers are both physicians (not generally in the hospital) but both have to work and still gave me the option to stay home. No tiresome threats of firing like you’re making and complete respect for my decision. You could learn a lot from employers like mine.

You are lucky they have back up care. Not everyone does. You don't get it. People hire nannies so they can work. You don't work, they cannot work. You hire a nanny as centers shut down at different times and that's not an option for all families.

Actually the only lesson she could learn from your employers is to make more money. The only thing that separates employers who can easily give their nanny two weeks off and not blink at a double childcare bill and employers who can't is that the former makes more money. That's all. I mean you can talk about selflessness and commitment and whatnot, but the brutal reality is that if you cannot afford a double childcare bill, the nanny will either have to work, or she will lose her job. Can't get blood from a stone.

No one wants to leave their NF hanging so to speak but it doesn't sound like you totally understand what social distancing means during a pandemic. I'm a nanny and I'm not looking for a snow day. I'm worried about not only myself but transmitting to my NF as well as my own family. It's a unique situation. My suggestion to you personally is to remove your brain from your anus and look at the bigger picture here.In all politeness.
