H1N1 Virus in Children

Information changes everyday about H1N1.  Parents have reason to be especially nervous about this virus considering how many hundreds of things young children touch and put into their mouth every day.  There are several ways that babysitters can help prevent the spread of the virus: keeping hand sanitizer with them at all times, coughing and sneezing into their arms rather than their hands, and, of course, washing their hands and the child’s hands very regularly during the day.

If you as a babysitter have any of the following symptoms, you should really discuss with the parents whether or not you should be coming into work:

·         fever (however, not everyone with the flu will have a fever)

·         cough

·         sore throat

·         body aches

·         headaches

·         chills

·         muscle or joint pain

·         fatigue or tiredness

·         runny or stuffy nose

·         diarrhea and vomiting (sometimes, but more commonly seen than with seasonal flu)

We also recommend that parents whose children have any of the symptoms, that the parents considering caring for their own children if possible.

Receiving updated and current information directly from a medical professional is the best way to handle H1N1
