Nanny, Elite Nannies Miami.  Pre-pandemic, about half of U.S. families reported having trouble finding care for a young child. That number jumped to nearly two-thirds this spring as day cares closed and other caretakers, such as grandparents and nannies, were told to stay home.

And with many schools operating remotely, in a hybrid model or abruptly changing course this fall, many more parents, including those with kids in elementary school and beyond, are grappling with a child care crisis.

Key Questions: Do parents and the nanny have open communication about everyone’s level of caution when outside the home? Is everyone able to practice good hygiene and risk mitigation when in the home?

Professional in-home child care has appeared, for many, to be a relatively safe option. And data from Care.com, one of the largest online clearinghouses for this service, bear that out. “We’re seeing a triple-digit percent increase in demand for in-home care on our platform,” Tim Allen, the company’s CEO, noted in an email to NPR. A survey his organization carried out in late May found that more than 63% of parents weren’t comfortable at the time sending children to day care. Virus cases have only increased since then.

But there are still risks to consider — and ways to minimize them.

“A nanny will pose as much of an exposure risk as his or her personal daily activities dictate,” Spinner notes. “Is the nanny spending time around other people, going out in public areas, such as the grocery store, restaurant, hairdresser? Is the nanny wearing a mask routinely?”

It’s important to have transparency and open communication in these discussions, Smith says, “for all parties to be honest with each other about how many contacts they are having outside the home.”

Families and caregivers should also discuss plans and protocols for testing and isolation should any of them or their close contacts develop symptoms or test positive for the coronavirus. Allen also stresses the importance of paying nannies aboveboard — that provides caregivers better access to sick leave and unemployment benefits, which could help minimize virus spread.

Tan recommends that a paid in-home caregiver have coronavirus screenings the same way a day care center employee would, with temperature and symptom checks before starting work, for example. And they should maintain other best hygiene practices, such as washing their hands frequently, removing their shoes in the home and maintaining physical distance — especially from adult members in the household — when possible. And family members should do these things as well to protect the caregiver’s health.

“Even a conscientious nanny can be a risk to your family’s health,” Rimoin says. “On the other hand, [by] having a nanny you’re exposing your family to one caregiver, but a day care might introduce more teachers and aides into the equation.”

The details of the care arrangement also play a large role in the level of risk. For example, an au pair who lives with the family (and who is also following best practices when outside the home) is probably the safest nanny option.

But if you’re considering sharing a care provider with another family — or families — (a setup that has recently surged in popularity, Allen says), that brings additional layers of risk.

“If the nanny takes care of multiple children from different families and lives in the community, group-based care in which you have cohorting of children and staff may be safer,” Tan says.
