If you usually have a nanny/sitter come to your house, have you asked them to stop coming to your home due to COVID-19? Curious if you are continuing to pay your childcare provider, let them go, or have another arrangement.

We have a sitter and she hasn’t come since mid March. We have continued to pay her since we are still getting paid. If we lose our jobs that would change but felt it was the right thing to do.

We’re doing the same thing. Also considering bringing her back hopefully June/July time.

Our nanny stopped coming mid March as well. We continue to pay her and I am so looking forward to the day she can come back.

Our nanny stopped coming mid-March but we have continued to pay her, since my husband and I are still employed. We’re aiming to have her back in June. Can’t come soon enough!

Mine stopped coming in mid-March. She was sick but has thankfully recovered. We paid her for two weeks that she wasn’t there. And we’ve just made the decision to bring her back at the beginning of June - she’s been cleared by her doctor, and we are just at the end of our rope. The stress is too much for us, with homeschool, two full time jobs, etc.

My friend is still paying even though they left town

We left town mid March and are still paying our nanny. We reduced her pay to 40 hrs a week rather than the variable 50-60 hrs a week after the first two weeks when we saw that this was going to be a longer term situation. We hope we can start using her when we come back to NYC in about a month. She drives herself so we consider her fairly low risk.

It helpful to hear that some are choosing to continue compensating the child care provider even though the job is “on hold”.

This makes me happy to hear so many people are continuing to pay. We are too. Since me and my husband haven’t (yet) been financially impacted. But hoping to get some help from our nanny again soon!

We share a babysitter with my brother at his home. It’s the only house that we will walk into and the only ppl we do not socially-distance with. Both our families have been careful - but not neurotic. Our babysitter drives and is personally very stringent on the rules. She has continued to come throughout everything and thank god for that or we’d be going bonkers!

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

I’m up for a promotion (title but not salary bc of COVID) - when salary increases are a thing, how much should I negotiate for? Like percentage wise, with the fact that I’m about 7-10K underpaid compared to other people with the current title?
