[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: after arriving on Monday and being told they were sick the night before and not seeing them since the previous Wednesday, I have now caught their cold/strep. Meaning the last time i had seent them i wasnt already exposed. Which was plenty of time to warn me and get your child on antibiotics which they didnt start until this tuesday. I had to cancel two other jobs and a dinner with a family member who was in town but didn't want to risk getting sick on their travels. [b]So this answered my own question, tell your god damn sitter if your child is sick enough to be contagious.[/b] I am now out my co pay, two going on three full days of work, plans I was looking forward to, and possibly my weekend bartending job if I am not better by Saturday.

What does "sick enough to be contagious" mena?  Also, are all the MB's on this board saying that they let their nannies know the moment their child gets a runny nose or cough so the nanny can decide whether they want to come in a work?  I'm an MB and while I do let me my nanny know of fevers or vomit, I do not call or text her in advance to let her know my DS developed a runny nose over night.  At that point I have no idea if my child has some contagious cold. My nanny has never complained to me when she shows up and my DS is coughing or sneezing and I didn't tell her in advance.   One of the reasons I hired a nanny rather than send my child to day care was so that I could still work when my DS was too sick by day care standards.  [/quote]
