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 by The New York Post found.
Nannies and other
domestic staff are being taken to ski resorts for the holidays, which means they can t celebrate with their own loved ones.
Traveling to hotspots also means staff will be celebrating the holidays away from 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.
The Manhattan family is flying by private plane with other staff, including a personal chef, to vacation with some very high-profile friends, the nanny said.
Discussing the current travel restrictions, the nanny said the family feel like they are above it all.
