Hey mamas. Just looking for some perspectives here. We had a part-time nanny before COVID who we loved. Problem is that her spouse is a healthcare worker (pharmacist at a hospital). We know they are both super careful—spouse also wears N95, face shield and full on suit at work. I fear that COVID exposure given my husband and I are fortunate enough to WFH. But also fear trying to find someone new who we don’t know and trust like our old nanny. Do we bring her back? What would you do?

My husband is a physician so biased here but I think we take more precautions than all the other families we know. But totally understand the hesitation, I would just think about how good they were with your kids and how easy it will be to find someone else. Also consider your own exposure outside of the nanny (have you opened up the bubble at all with other families? How often do you go grocery shopping or non-essential activities?) and if you, your husband or kids are high risk individuals that is worth considering.
