Not getting Sick pay when charges make me ill

Hi.

Im a nanny and I don't get sick pay, fair enough

A couple of weeks ago the little boy had a vomiting bug, gave it to me, I was off and I didn't get paid.

Now the little girl has a sickness bug and I will more than likely get it. And I won't get paid..

Completely understand if I am ill that I won't get paid but think it is unfair if the children give me something, and I have to take time off which I don't get paid for.

Understand it's hard for the parents, especially if they have to get someone else to look after the kids, but I can't keep losing money, but very aware that a nanny is employed to look after sick children...Sad

As an employer what would you do?

As a nanny, How would you feel?
