PwC India Hi Folks, I left my stable job at Deloitte USI and moved to Germany for a better job. But my mom had a major health issue and I'm planning to travel back to India to support her as I'm a single child. I'm working in one of the top organisation in Germany with a base of 90k euro and looking for good opportunities in India.

I did interview some... but stayed with our nanny. The biggest thing was who they lived with and their level of COVID precautions. I preferred older nannies with family at home so they were taking the same precautions we were and on the same page. Also references go a long way.
I hired a new nanny to take care of our pod (4kids) and I don’t have her wear a mask in our home. The most important thing for us is that we were both comfortable with each other’s levels of exposure - so we were upfront about our quarantine level and asked the nannies we interview to do the same. I would think it goes both ways with mask wearing, we did not want to wear a mask in our home/around her all the time so we didn’t ask her to. I would say be honest with your nanny and disclose your risky activities as well - we have the benefit of working from home (mostly) but domestic workers do not and have the higher risk of getting COVID and mostly do not have health insurance.
Had a nanny for a couple of weeks, and she wore her mask while she worked with us. Except for lunch time. I might have relaxed on it a bit if she had stayed longer.
We hired a nanny and don’t require her to wear a mask. Part of the interview process was making sure they were covid cautious and respected the virus outside of our home. We also have an honesty policy in place to make sure we’re sharing if anyone is sick. Having these convos early on is so important!
We kept our same nanny from 2018 this whole time. I had to sit her down and have a serious conversation about how many people never know they have it, and for that reason, I really needed her to stay safe and be smart when socializing. She’s not on social media or the internet at all really so it never felt to her like this was serious until I pulled my toddler out of her care (still paid her) for six weeks even though I had a newborn, because I just could not risk it coming into the house at that time. Since then, and since I made her get a covid test after her trip to Florida, she’s taken it much more seriously and sees her responsibility in all of it. But I do take comfort in knowing she’s somewhat of a homebody.
We kept our nanny the whole time and do not require to her to wear a mask in the house. We did have a sit down with her about socializing and being cautious. I don’t know how I would get anything done without her.
We hired someone during covid. We only require the mask when she’s holding our newborn - as anyone holding her needs to do. Otherwise, she’s practicing all Covid prevention as best as anyone can.
She brings scrubs to change into/out of at the beginning and end of the day.
We also are providing paid sick days to ensure she’s comfortable calling out if she feels it’s necessary.
We hired a nanny to help with our kids remote school. Agree with everyone who talked about honesty- trust is so crucial right now. I stressed that if she wants to do something outside the bounds of what we have discussed that I want her to talk to me about it so we can make a plan. She’s traveling this weekend and will wait until she tests negative (72 hours after returning) to come back to work. And we are giving her 2 paid weeks of vacation and some paid sick time so that she can take time if she’s feeling unwell.
We also ask for her approval for people to come over or for us to attend things on the weekend. She’s had a lot of family who had COVID and some who passed away from it. So we try to respect her comfort level knowing that everything we do affects her and her family. And I feel like she is extremely careful also. It’s become a true partnership in keeping our collective families safe.
Our nanny is in our pod. She takes our car during the week to avoid commuting on public transpo. We always talk about any plans we might have outside of our homes or with others. She is a gem and a life saver. The risk is well worth it for our family bc there’s no way we have time to properly care for them during th day.
