[quote=Anonymous]I understand where you are coming from especially since you work for several families and don't want I get everyone sick. I think it's only fair for parents to tell you when their kids have something contagious but the problem is that most parents have a nanny because they can't take off time from work every time their child is sick. So while it's understandable you might not want to work when the kids are sick I think you are going to have a hard time finding a job if that's the case. Not saying it's ok but since the parents know you might not come if they tell you ahead of time that's probably why they aren't. Also as an FYI, if the kids with strep have been on an antibiotic for 24 hrs they aren't contagious anymore. Also, the unfortunate thing is that most things are most contagious before symptoms show up so even if they parents called and said "little Larla has strep throat you don't have to come in", you were probably already exposed anyway. That's the hazard of working with children. [/quote]
