Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Nannying has been very different since the outbreak. I have had to use my creativity in different ways that don't involve being around people and working with what the family has. I wear my mask around the kids and the parents work from home and wear a mask while I'm there. Me and the kids created an obstacle course on their patio (hence the photo). I originally wanted to create this to make the time go by faster, however, it was a lot of fun for everyone. We created rules on how to jump/dance on each color.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
