Babysitting

So I am supposed to be watching someone's kid on Thursday. On Monday night I get a phone call saying that he had a 104 temp and strep throat. They got him the shot.

Would you let him come over still on Thursday or ask her to make other arraignments. My gut is saying to keep him away from my child but my head is saying that I am overreacting...

    I think you're done being contagious by then?

    I would still be nervous.  Strep is so not fun.

    It isn't about me. If it was just me then I would watch him no questions. But I don't want to expose my son to some potential germs.

    I also don't even know the kid. This is a friend of a friend. Just doing someone a favor

    Nope!  I would not.  But I catch strep every single time I come into contact with someone with it.  I've had scarlett fever twice.  No way would I invite it into my home willingly.  I can't imagine wanting to still go out anyhow if my kid was that sick...
