[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White house nannies still takes "mildly ill children" but they  have changed the guidelines on what mildly ill is:

It sounds like they wouldn’t be able to care for most kids who are sent home from daycare for illness. Their illness exclusion is pretty much most daycare’s illness exclusion.

Special COVID-19 Notice* (updated 3/9/22)
White House Nannies is continually updating its staffing procedures as it relates to COVID-19 to help ensure the health and safety of the families, children, and caregivers we work with.

At this time we are resuming mildly ill care for children, as long as the child does not have a fever and can provide a negative rapid COVID test. If your child is instructed to stay home because of potential exposure to COVID-19 (including daycare and school closures), we are unable to send a caregiver into the home until after receiving a negative test (PCR or rapid) taken on day 5-7 after exposure – not before – or after day 10 of quarantine without testing if the child or family members are not displaying any symptoms. Our caregivers are following the same exposure guidelines. If there is a confirmed case of COVID in the household, a negative rapid test from all members of the household would be required after 10 days before sending a caregiver into the home.

Additionally, based on recommendations from pediatricians, we are unable to place temporary nannies in homes where children have:

Flu
Head lice
Highly contagious viruses
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (Coxsackie Virus)
Stomach Flu w/ recent vomiting within 24 hours
Strep Throat/Pink Eye/Ear Infections (UNLESS antibiotics started 24-48 hours prior)
Our babysitters require signed authorization and explicit instructions from the parent(s) in order to administer medicine.[/quote]
