[quote=Anonymous]I work for 3 different families, and arrived at my first job today. I was told once I was already here that both the 3 year old and 5 year old are sick with colds "or strep". The husband is upstairs in bed sick today home from work as well. The mom then picked up her purse and walked out. I watch other kids not just hers and am finding the other families do the same thing. Yesterday at my older charges house I was told once I got there that she was home from school for a rash " that could be contagious "!?! If I get sick, I not only spread it to myself and my husband but then the other 3 families I work for and all of the kids. I have said before if one of their children is contagious only, then to please let me know so that I can decide if coming is worth the risk. They never tell me and I think it's because they know if they said contagious rash, strep, etc I would say sorry but I don't want to risk infecting everyone. Do you tell your nanny when your child is contagious? The worst for me was the lice infestation I didn't find out about until I saw the box of rid on the bathroom counter and asked about it. I don't know what else to say to these parents to make them understand its not just me at risk. Its 12 children between the ages of 1 1/2 to 15 that I help take care of. [/quote]
