Dropping child to nanny?

Hi, I’ve been dropping our pre-schooler to our nanny at home so she doesn’t need to travel to our house by bus. Under the new measures do you think I can keep doing this? She’s not going out and neither are we (apart from food shopping or to walk in the park in line with guidance). So effectively each of our family units is isolated apart from my one DC going there. No older or vulnerable people around either family and, as I said, we’re not interacting with anyone else.

An 18 yr old and 21 he old have died. With no underlying health issues

When are you going to realise that could be YOUR family next

I hope to god it's not. But I'm not sure when people are going to take this seriously

Also. If your love on is unwell with corona. You won't see them. You won't be with them

If they (let's hope not) but they die

You realise this will be alone? On their own? No real funeral? No real way of saying goodbye?

People are dying.

People are still taking the risk

I just don't understand why....

Poor Nanny and poor kids, why isn't one of you on leave?
Why is money more important than your child?
if you NEED both incomes for essential living then take it in turns to work.
So selfish. Sad

My concern is that if nanny is part time with you, she has another job with a different family and is therefore mixing with 2 families.....potential for transmitting the virus between 2, maybe 3 homes is huge if she herself has children.

@Childcarehelp, I think you know deep down that you shouldn’t be shuttling your child between 2 households. Take up some of the advice given and either pretend to leave the house and sneak back in or let dc watch tv or YouTube children’s lessons. There are a lot of free resources for all ages available now, including free children’s audio books on Audible.
