What Do You Wear During Daycare Hours?

Nope. An actual training link for Body Substance Isolation.

My kids have talked about Cards Against Humanity. Guess I need to check it out?

Naaaah. I completely agree with this article on it. Don't forget to look at the images.

We play Funemployed, which is a PG-13 game appropriate for middle schoolers and up.

Got it. Makes sense. My "kids" (young adults) mentioned it being an instagram thing, now I see why. No one wants evidence for future employers.

I did not know there was actually a physical game.

My worst experience was when i worked at a center and a child fell and hit his face. My reaction was to pick him up and comfort him...not realizing he was having a massive bloody nose all over my neck/shoulder. Blood is worse considering we had no right to know of the kids have any diseases...so i freaked out and threw bleach all over where the blood was on my clothes and rubbed my skin with bleach. The best i could do was take off my shirt and bra and wear my winter coat the rest of the day. No way was i going to wear someone elses blood on me all day. So in that situation...my clothes were deff ruined.

In my centre we had a right to know which diseases the kids had but not which specific kid had it. One of the kids had Hep C so there were gloves everywhere and my first instinct was always gloves gloves gloves!! So scary!

Another good reason to not get kid gunk on you is Cytomegalovirus which comes from tears and urine. It can cause birth defects in pregnant women.

Do any of you wear gloves for diaper changes and other bodily fluids ?
BC, I am your polar opposite! I get EVERYTHING on me. Honestly I go home with spaghetti in my hair. I have no idea how that happens ! I do clean them up, but there is some magnetic force that takes whatever is near me and throws it on my body.

Yes to gloves! I even wear gloves when changing my own son's BM diapers ::

Not sure where u are from, but here we are not allowed to know a childs medical history unless the parent wants to share that info. Prevents staff from treating the child differently. Although i feel when it comes to the well being of the staff, we should know. All we can ask for is shot records.
Ive heard of cytomegalovirus. Its amazing when people argue that urine is sterile..clearly not.

I wear gloves for every diaper change. But I also go get things on me. Wear and tear is also an issue for me.

Because of this, I do have a work wardrobe and a weekend wardrobe. Work is less expensive jeans, and shirts (jeans at old navy and t-shirts from Target/Walmart) I do have black knit pants but they are not yoga pants. Similar to these:

I like them for days I want to be comfy but still feel presentable.

Truthfully I have found that I have more energy when I am showered, styled, and dressed in clothing (not scrubs, pj's etc.) to begin my work day. I don't even like to wear pj's for our annual pajama day because I find I feel really logy and blah.

Oh good, the other god has spoken.

ok, you can count me too. my clothes, furniture, and walls are free of snot too. I wear casual clothes during my work hours.

Yeah we are not allowed to know a specific childs history either, we simply know that a child, one of the kids, no idea which one HAS this disease. The director knows but she is bound by law not to disclose. It is the law here in my province that any disease tranferable through bodily fluids MUST be disclosed (Hep C, HIV, Aids) to daycare/teaching staff. So we have no idea which child has it, only that one of the kids out of 45 has it. Hope that makes sense This way no one discriminates against a specific child because we have no clue which child has it. Also reinforces the idea that anyone can have a disease and you need to take extra precautions no matter who you are dealing with.

In a home daycare situation it is much more risky because parents do not have to disclose (as far as I know).
