[quote=Anonymous]I need some opinions on this matter. I am a nanny three children. One child got sick with a stomach Tuesday evening. I was told she stated throwing up in the middle of the night. Child was still throwing up at 7AM. I said I was not comfortable dealing with a throwing up child. I would be happy to take of Twins. That's what I did. Parents took turn taking care of sick child.

On Thursday morning sick child had no fever or throwing up since the following afternoon. One of the Twins threw up over night had a fever.  Once again if I was ok asked to care for her. I said I think it would be best if she stayed with a parent. In morning parents took care of her. By lunch time she still had not throw up again.  Parents asked me to care for her again. I made some soup for everyone. Took care of all three of them rest of the day.

Friday morning I come & was told Twins both were throwing up in the middle of night. One twin just minutes before I got there. I said I thought it was best if I got older child breakfast & ready for school then left when she did. As I didn't want to catch stomach bug. I have other health issues going on. I was already frustrated as last 2 morning I texted before showing up asking how children were doing did not get response. I emptied dishwasher put laundry away before leaving.  I tired do what I could to help.

This family get multiple stomach bugs all winter. Last one I caught after taking care of them when sick. I have been a nanny long time. All my other employers never expected or wanted me  to take care of their throwing up children. I think I am being fair not wanting to clean up & care for throwing up children. Do you think I am right or the parents? For what it's worth when it's not stomach bug & just a sickness I am ok taking care of them. Thanks for reading & hopefully giving some opinions on this matter. [/quote]
