So I have been essential personnel, have been working a normal work week and shelter in place on weekends.

STBXBW has been teleworking but just got (somewhat surprising) notice that she’s to be back in office next week... We had suspended weekly custody handoffs since they were effectively isolated during this.

I will ask BW her comfort level with our previous nanny but in the event that BW doesn’t want that exposure potential what other options are people seeing?

It sounds like you don't have a choice. You will need to use someone other than yourself or your stbx to care for your child.

I'm a member of a couple of moms Facebook groups in my area. I still see people posting looking for babysitters and nannies during this pandemic. Also sitters and nannies advertising their services. I mean, we can't isolate forever. If your wife has to go back to the office, then she must go back to the office.

Get the sitter. Life goes on.

Or you can both quit work and be homeless...

Can you tell I'm done with this isolation? Lol. Have everyone wash their hands. A lot. Ask her wear a mask if you like.
