[quote=Anonymous]Hi! So we just found out that our Au Pair has herpes....she came up for work this morning with a big oozing blister and a rash around her mouth. We noticed something perhaps a month or so ago too but she said it was just a pimple. Now, this morning there was no denying that it was not a pimple. My husband and I are outraged and also very disappointed about the situation. This was not listed on her medical form.

We have two young toddler girls, one who is immunocompromised. I know we need to put our girls first but we've also opened our home to this young lady who is a hard worker, sweet, and my girls have grown to enjoy being with. She also has a big vacation planned in a month which I know she would be devastated if we went into rematch and she didn't get matched again.

I feel like we really don't have a choice as to whether or not we go into rematch or not given we don't want to be constantly worried if she may spread this to our girls; especially the immunocompromised one. My husband and I are also trying for our 3rd child and that obviously would a huge issue if we had a newborn. We have asked her in the past not to share food or drinks with our girls but have caught her in the past doing so and are now worried she's already shared her virus with them.

I just don't think we can handle walking on eggshells and worrying about this for the next 8 months!

What would you do if you were in our shoes???
