Hi there,
Mindee was sick this afternoon while in my care, twice. Seemed quite ill i.e. not food poisoning - almost definitely a bug. Have explained to the parents that I can't take him back til Friday and they are making me feel very guilty (they are Polish and have a very high work ethic - they are very reluctant to take time off work).
I'm doing the right thing aren't I?
They were also funny with the fact I called them as soon as he was sick asking him to be picked up asap. They didn't seem to see that I wasn't prepared to look after a sick contagious child when I have two of my own plus another mindee.
I did say that any nursery or school would have the same policy.
Could I have handled it differently?
