[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an employer... I can totally understand that this wouldn't be fun, but assuming it's in your job description to take care of the kids, it seems like this would be included...

Also lice isn't transmitted typically except head-to-head contact, so unless you are rubbing your scalp against he children or their bedclothes you shold be okay[/quote]

I’ve never seen a job description which includes delousing children.  Taking care of them, sure.  But shampooing their hair and picking out lice?  No way.[/quote]

Bathing kids has always been expected, at least for me. And if I don’t want a child to scratch, complain and spread the lice?  Then, I need to help get rid of them![/quote]

Then you take time off from work and do the dirty work.  Absolutely disgraceful to expect a nanny to do this.[/quote]

I’m a nanny...  and bathing kids has always been a part of my duties, as has dealing with injuries and illnesses.  I’ve dealt with warts, pinworms, why would lice be any different?  As I said, if I want kids to be comfortable and not complaining... then obviously I need to help.[/quote]
