No one has been left out to be unaffected by the changing scenario of the globe that has been effectuated by the outbreak of COVID 19. While some have lost employment, some have lost their nearer & dearer ones. 
According to the recent scientific researches, COVID-19 is contagious before symptoms come on the surface and 25% of infected have been discovered entirely asymptomatic. Taking the same in the account, here we have listed out some Recommended Safety Measures for Nannies and Their Employers during COVID-19. These measures are devised from those mentioned by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Oranization (WHO) and the leaders from the industry. 
  • Employers, as well as nannies, must check their temperature each morning. The ideal temperature for adults is approx 98.6 and a bit higher for children. Families may welcome the nanny for the day with sanitizer and gloves. 
  • Avoid going out in public places, if it's unavoidable, wear a mask and keep at least 6 ft. of distance. Stay home! Stay Safe! 
  • Keep the communication open and regular to bring out the suggestions that would assist one another to stay healthy and happy.
  • Proper and regular sanitisation of door handles and light switches is also one of the safety measures. 
  • For nannies coming to take care of kids in a conveyance that is shared with others, keep clothes for each day of the week to change on each arrival.
  • Keep an alcohol-based hand sanitizer at the door to restrict the germs entering in and going to the world. 
  • Avoid touching the face and help kids with this directive. 
Safety Measures for Nannies as prescribed by the Government
  • Wash your hands frequently with quality hand wash for a minimum of 20 seconds, particularly when you arrive at the employer’s place and when you return home from work.
  • Use a separate towel or disposable tissue to dry your hands and discard them safely. Take care not to share the towel with family members. 
  • Maintain social distance with everyone including the employer and family.
  • Self-isolate yourself if you encounter the symptoms of COVID 19 within.
  • Stop going to work if you see symptoms of the virus in any of your family members or family members of your employer. 
Other recommendations:
  • Regularly clean the touched objects and surfaces such as door handles, toys and kitchen items. Family members must keep the internal doors open to lessen the contact.
  • Nannies must take care of kids that they are eating healthy and playing in a completely hygienic ambience. Family members must maintain good ventilation by keeping windows and doors open.
  • Nannies must serve fresh homemade food to kids while ensuring that the food is full of nutrients to boost the child’s immunity. While parents can take care of the availability of all the ingredients at the home as listed by a nanny.
  • Nannies and families must communicate with each other clearly and regularly to align on needs and expectations. Clear communication also helps in the easy management of risks and execution of safety measures. If either of the two has concerns, it’s crucial to raise the same at the earliest.
We live in a diversified community that is full of loving care providers and on mud(MadeUrDay) we unify the caretakers and family to together come out of this pandemic stronger. mud connects the families to the nannies’ agencies that do their best to avert contracting and passing along this virus, stay healthy and protect one another.
