[quote=NannyRach]In my share we set a policy, similar to what you might see at daycare, stating that a fever over 101 degrees, vomiting, and any serious contagious illness or ailment would require the sick child to stay home for the day, and remain home until they are fever/symptom free for 24 hours. If the share host is sick, we relocate to the other house. This is a policy that everyone agreed to up front, and I would suggest having a similar conversation with your share partners and nanny. Where do you draw the line at too sick to be around your kid/family? What does your nanny feel comfortable taking on, along with the care of a child who is well? For what it is worth, I don't think it is you who needs to pull your kid out today. Yes one of the benefits of nanny care is sick day coverage, but this is simply not so in a nanny share. Group care requires policies regarding illness and exposure to other healthy kids. [/quote]
