Granny’s question
Hello, do I have the right to look after my grandchildren in Villeneuve-Loubet while their parents work while I live in Saint-Laurent-du-Var?

Hello Grandma,
You have every right to go and look after your grandchildren if their parents cannot telecommute. All you have to do is check the box “compelling family reasons, for assistance to vulnerable and precarious people, in particular to people with disabilities or for childcare” of your certificate. Including if your grandchildren do not live in your municipality of residence.
But it will be necessary, as you know, to take all the necessary precautions to limit the risks of contamination. Respect for barrier gestures is essential.
Emmanuel Macron, in his speech Wednesday evening, recalled that the wearing of masks for those over 65 had to be systematic outside, of course, but also “when you are inside, in the presence of another person, even a loved one, a child or a grandchild.”
Just before the start of the school year, Prime Minister Jean Castex had irritated many seniors by recommending grandparents not to pick up their grandchildren when they leave school, even though the law allows them to do so.
Grandma, in short, you can take care of your little ones without cuddling.
