Being near child with chicken pox

Hi! My partners 4 year old nephew has chicken pox. She is looking after him this weekend and we have just seen the rash. My partner has had chicken pox before, it appears from looking online she has been immunised as she has had chicken pox before. Any tips on this area? All ok or avoid child??

If she’s had it before then she is immune and there’s nothing to worry about.

My DS has chicken pox when I was 20 weeks, no option to avoid him!

I had chicken pox as a child, checked in with midwife and she said not a concern unless I became ill myself (I didn't!).

I wouldn't be overly worried about it.
