to contemplate not letting my friend look after my DD as she is ALWAYS ill afterwards

A good friend of mine who lives locally has a DS the same age as my DD (3). She often offers to look after my DD for the day, so I can work. But, every single time, she comes home and is ill the next day, cold/gastro/runny nose. She just doesn't look after them like I would. She lets them play outside in just a tracksuit (despite me sending her in layers of clothes/coats/scarves etc). She doesn't wash their hands before eating. Her DS is always ill, and always snotty, and she encourages kissing and cuddles all the time. I don't want to ruin our friendship, and I feel by bringing anything up, I would be criticising her, but what would you do.....?

Teaandcake has a good point, maybe your dd is allergic to something at the house.

Is there a dog or a cat that might be triggering this?

Does your friend have a different heating system to yours?
Whenever i go to my grandparents i end up ill and we have worked out its the change of heating. I have GCH and they have a coal fire.
I live in scotland and know how cold it gets but dd still runs around naked in the house and is always running around outside without her coat on. And she is totally fine
