In a case like this I beleive it boils down to priorities (on the part of the parents).Would you really want another person other than "yourself" caring for your sick child? Please remember back to the day you discovered that you were pregnant, you are now responsible for another "LIFE". A true gift from GOD, creating another "HUMAN BEING", and bringing forth life. Personally, as a mother of 2 beautiful, healthy daughters (who are now both in their twenty,s)I never forgot, neither did my husband what "An Awesome Responsibility" that is. To this day I still make sacrifices for the sake of their wellness, and well being. "NO REGRETS". "Thank you GOD, for allowing me to become a "Mother".Becoming a parent is a privledge, not a right, please remember this. There are far too many people in this world of ours that have it "Quite wrong". Just my personal opinion.

I think in this case the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. A sick child can make others sick, plus the worker. As a parent, you should expect that you may have to stay home with your child when they are sick. A daycare provider should not have to put the other children at risk just for your child.

Just to add to my previous comment, if it is not possible for the parent to stay home, and the babysitter is willing to care for the child, the sitter should use frequent hand washing techniques and also wear a mask to protect themselves from airborne antigens.

As a mother of an infant who has been sick recently, and as a healthcare provider, I assess the symptoms of my child to determine if they would be in the contagious phase of an illness. If the child is having a sore throat, runny nose, vomitting, diarrhea, or has a fever, a parent should stay home with the child to limit the spread of infection. They should also refrain from taking the child to public places where they might be in contact with other children.
