    Drop ins and feeling sick, WWYD?

    I do SA care, but occasionally will take a drop in little during the day. I got a request for all day care for a 3yo tomorrow, but I've been feeling "off" all week. This morning I woke up with a cough and a scratchy throat and general "blah" feeling.

    Should I go ahead and accept the 3yo tomorrow, knowing that I may be getting sick? Should I tell them that I'm not feeling well and let them decide? Or skip it altogether and say no? I'm not obligated to do it, it'd be nice to have the extra money though.

    Id either warn them and let them decide or say no.

    Sometimes I wake up feeling like that and then it's gone the next day.

      If it's just a cold coming on I'd take the 3yo. You (at least I) can't close every time I get a cold, and your house is certainly not the only place he'll be exposed to germs.

        If you feel up to it and don't mind taking him, I would call to let them know you feel like you're coming down with a cold and let the parent make the decision. I hope you're feeling better soon.
