In most cases, if the kids are running a fever or vomiting, you have already been exposed to whatever it is they are carrying. Not going in, in this case, would not prevent you from becoming ill. I can understand not wanting to take care of children who are vomiting all day (though I have done it on numerous occasions...just the kind of nanny that I am) but don't fool yourself or the parent's that it's for your own safety. 
Sick care is always a matter of personal preference but it is really nothing out of the ordinary to have to be with kids when they are sick. Isn't that one of the benefits of hiring a nanny over sending children to day care??

Another +1.

This is one of the primary reasons we chose a nanny over daycare.

That being said, there was an occasion when my kids were so sick that I actually didn't think it was fair to the nanny so I stayed home. But otherwise a nanny who was unwilling to care for sick kids wouldn't be someone who we could hire.[/quote]

+2. I understand why you wouldn't want to risk getting sick but at the same time I have a nanny because I can't stay home when my children are sick. I can't stay home even if I'm sick. Basically unless I'm dying I have to go to work. There was only one time when I stayed home when DC#2 was sick because I thought I might have to take him to the hospital. So while I understand your point of view I would never hire someone who wouldn't come if the children were sick. Also, as a PP said people are most contagious BEFORE getting symptoms so if they have symptoms you've already been exposed. [/quote]
