Even before COVID-19 hit the United States, hiring a nanny was an extensive process. Because of the global pandemic, choosing to hire a nanny now means putting in extra work. Keeping ourselves protected is one thing, but keeping our children safe is an entirely different level of pressure. The following suggestions can help you hire a nanny during COVID-19.

Interview Remotely
While it is obvious that many of us would prefer to meet our nanny in person before hiring them, it is important to stay safe. Start with a virtual interview, as it will give you a great, safe way to decide which nanny is the right fit. Afterward, you can conduct a meet and greet with the nanny. This method prevents a large number of people from coming in and out of your home.
During your interview, you will want to ask a particular set of questions that relate to coronavirus. Ask your nanny how they have been staying safe during COVID-19. You will want to be sure that they have been following CDC recs… and practicing social distancing. Additionally, ask the nanny if they live with anyone who could put them at risk for catching COVID-19. Ask the nanny about their activities during the pandemic. You may find out that the nanny has been working outside of their home or taking trips. (not exact wording- just suggested edits)
Before your interview, you will want to decide how you want your nanny to work. Do you want them to practice social distancing as much as possible with your child? Do you want them to take precautions and check their temperature before entering your home? Do you want them to wear a mask? Do they want your child to wear a mask? If your child is immunocompromised, you will want to be sure to let the nanny know that they will have to be strict about staying healthy until COVID-19 is no longer a problem. (GOOD)
Follow CDC Guidelines
You and your nanny should both follow the CDC’s guidelines for cleanliness. Before and after your nanny visits your household, be sure to disinfect the surfaces and areas where you will be. You will want to be sure that your nanny also disinfects accordingly.
