How COVID-19 Affects Families and Nannies

If you are a nanny or employ a nanny, you have surely thought about how this pandemic, and mandated lock-down will affect employment status.

Perfect Nanny Match has been fielding questions all week attempting to help our clients and the nannies we work with find answers. We are not lawyers, nor CPA's, and have a limited understanding of all these new laws/rules.

Therefore, we have procured a list of resources and hope that you will educate yourselves to make the best decisions for your situation.

Perfect Nanny Match is committed to staying in business for as long as we can to help the families and nannies who are affected the most in these trying times.

Please reach out if you need anything!
