[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then you can't tell the difference between the flu and a bad cold or stomach virus.

Nobody and I mean nobody works with the flu.[/quote]

Yes, I do.  With infants and toddlers, I don't work if my fever is over 100.5, I have thrown up in the past 3 hours or had diarrhea in the last two hours.  Otherwise, I work, because my bosses are people that don't have the option of calling in unless it's actually an emergency.  With preschoolers and older kids?  I work no matter what my symptoms are, because that's what the parents and I agreed.  All of my charges are capable of making themselves simple food by 4/5 (peanut butter sandwich, grabbing hummus and cut veg, etc.), they know when I'm sick that we all have an easy day.  I do the best I can to not contaminate them, but such is life, and they usually are the ones who were sick first.  In one case, we lived 5 miles form school, and there was no busing, so that parents called the school to let them know kiddos wouldn't be in as I couldn't do drop-off or pick-up.  Just because you don't work with the flu doesn't mean that others don't.[/quote]
