Would you help?

[Helpinghand2020]

My friend who lives around the corner is a key worker, and although her daughter has been classes as low risk, everytime she's gone to nursery she's ended up with chest infections, and needed inhalers and antibiotics. I've helped her out where possible by looking after her DD along with my DS so she can work, when her DD has been mostly better but not quite well enough to go back to nursery.

Obviously her DD can go at the moment, but she's reluctant to do that unless there's no other option because of the recurring chest problems there. Neither me nor DS are in a high risk category. I've already been socially distancing for the last two weeks, and plan to self isolate for another two (my friend is currently self isolating atm).

Would I be stupid to offer to look after friends DD after the two weeks are up, barring any symptoms cropping up, thinking her daughter will be less at risk with me and DS? I can remain socially distant from most people, as have a fairly decent garden for the kids to get some fresh air, and plenty of toys, arts and crafts, etc to keep us all occupied.

In this specific situation as long as she took precautions when she came home from work to avoid infecting you, and as long as she wasn't a cheeky fucker, then I probably would.

I would as long she was super careful washing before she picked her up.

Oh she will be, she's been careful for the last month or so. And she def wouldn't be a CF, she was a great help when my DS was born, as I suffered complications, and until recently we'd often take it in turns to give each other the odd hours break as well.
