Returning to work in the age of COVID-19 requires that nannies and families consider and address matters that they have never had to in the past. The following are questions we are hearing over and over again from the families HWS works with, and some thoughts.
The novel coronavirus that has swept the globe has created countless new situations for working parents with children. Whether it be stay home orders, the family's or nanny's legitimate safety concerns, or changes in work situations for parents, we are in somewhat uncharted territory.
During the COVID-19 crisis, many people and charitable organizations need cash. The new CARES Act may provide some solutions.
Household employers and employees are searching for financial solutions to the current economic crises facing our economy. As we better understand the programs and benefits provided by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), families and caregivers are increasingly turning to unemployment benefits to provide some level of financial stability. Here we give an overview of how to navigate this important system which we all hoped we would never need to use.

But what if another family hears about how amazing she is, and they try to lure her away?
The Coronavirus pandemic has thrown school schedules into chaos. Some parents are working from home, other essential workers may be working even more hours outside the home. Many group care facilities and summer camps will be shuttered for the foreseeable future - perhaps the full summer. A summer, or long term temporary nanny may be a perfect solution.
