Rich New York City families are taking their nannies to COVID-19 hotspots for the holidays, and some nannies fear they'll lose their jobs if they refuse to go

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.Nannies in New York City are being given little choice but to travel to COVID-19 hotspots with the wealthy families they work for, an investigation byNannies and other domestic staff are being taken to ski resorts for the holidays, which means they can't celebrate with their own loved ones.

One nanny told the Post that the Manhattan family she worked for asked her to accompany them to the Vail ski resort in Colorado over the holidays. Wealthy families from across the US have checked into high-end ski resorts for the festive period, and many of these locations are fully booked up, the publication reported.

"They assume they'll be OK because they go private and adopt pseudo safety measures," she added. "But again, they don't believe the mandates apply to them." Another nanny told the Post that employers' travel plans mean that some of her colleagues are caught "between a rock and a hard place." The nanny needed to speak up to the family about her concerns, Michelle Brown, who runs support forum Nanny Talk, told the publication.

It isn't just during the holiday season that families have been whisking their nannies away. One nanny told Business Insider she left New York with her employers on what they thought would be a week-long Spring Break trip in March — and after lockdown measures were brought in.
