[quote=Anonymous]Our after school sitter has been sick (stomach bug) three times in the past month. She said the urgent care told her the last time it was Norovirus. This week I came home and she didn’t look great. She said she was feeling sick so I said she should go. A few minutes after she left she came back in and said she had thrown up in her car. I went out to help and it was ALL over the car, her coat, wallet, etc. She wiped it up with paper towels and went home. I offered to help clean while she rested but she said no. I’m 95% sure she didn’t go back and clean it later or wash her coat or disinfect anything. I have young kids who ride in her car and one has special needs which make throwing up even worse than it normally is for kids. I’m panicked about my kids and DH and I getting it. Yes, I know we could pick up a bug anywhere but it’s more likely when they will be sitting on uncleaned vomit and she’ll be putting purse/coat etc on our table after only wiping off the vomit with a paper towel. Please don’t flame me DCUM - I really need help figuring out how to ask her to clean her car and wash her coat or even better let me or DH help. I’m also wondering now if she keeps re-infecting herself bc she’s not cleaning properly after she gets sick? It seems unlikely to get 3 separate stomach bugs in one month? Please be kind. Even if you’d be okay with this, our DS’s special needs complicate things and it’s really very hard. I know we can’t avoid illnesses altogether but I also don’t want to knowingly expose them. Any ideas DCUM? [/quote]
