(rebroadcast) NannyCast 30: Nanny Burnout

// subscribe to NannyCast //

We know that with a pandemic in the mix, nannies are currently working jobs that are tremendously more difficult than what they signed up for. Hopefully you can find some relief in our episode on Nanny Burnout.

While we advocate for having a vent session in person with a community nanny, due to social distancing that makes it harder, but not impossible, to find an online community. Listen to our episode on Networks vs Communities for the key steps to find an online community so you can find a sympathetic ear to vent to.

In addition, Newborn Care Solutions hosted a trauma therapist to talk about coping through this pandemic. CLICK HERE to view the video on that topic. And CLICK HERE to view the NannyCast press release on the topic of the Nanny Relief Fund.

NannyCast 39: The Ethics of Nannying Through a Crisis Pandemic

Some of you have seen the post floating around from the Georgetown ethicist writing an advice column about what to do for COVID-19. A lot of you wish it were better fleshed out or addressed the full range of situations that are being faced in the nanny industry. As happens, I know a professional ethicist who happens to have experience with having employed a nanny, so it isn’t hypothetical to her. She is, quite conveniently, my mother. And in light of the “hurry, hurry, we need answers now” of the situation, I got her to chat with me on the phone – social distancing and all that – and recorded it.
