Moms would you hire a nanny with oral herpes?

[Anonymous]

Nope.

[Anonymous]

Fire her the minute you see anything that might be a blister.

No kisses ,this is very contagious,I know that,tell your future nanny to take vitamin D.

[Anonymous]

Anyone here actually have some formal medical training?

[Anonymous]

This isn't a big thing at all. It's most contagious at the very start. As long as the person has good personal care and doesn't touch their lips to your kids (anywhere), there is NO cause for concern!
I have HSV I and II. My son has never ever had an outbreak.
I take precautions if I feel a flare up beginning.
I don't think you're right for turning her away.

Do you realize this thread is a year and a half old???

I wouldn't hire her. You can even ask your potential nannies to get tested. I got tested it cost me 100 at planned parenthood. Well worth it as I was negative to both.

[Anonymous]

Maybe demand that potential MB's get tested, as *most* adults carry the virus.

Good luck finding ANYONE who would agree to STI testing as a condition of employment. What a joke.

Someone who doesn't have any sti's has nothing to worry about. If they won't get tested they shouldn't be around young children.

oral herpes is NOT an sti!! It's the same virus that causes chicken pox. Every single person whose has chicken pox has the virus that can allow them to get cold sores. Some people get outbreaks and some don't. It has nothing to do with hygiene, it's just how your body responds to the virus.

You know a lot of MB's have herpes, right? Should their children be taken away?

[Anonymous]

I'd pass on her. Oral herpes is too contagious and could be spread to your child's mouth or genitals.

That comment is ridiculous. It doesn't matter. These parent don't have it and its their choice on whether they'd like to risk exposing thief children to it. Their concern about hiring this nanny is valid and its thief job as parents to look out for thier child's best interest.
