If someone comes down sick in the dayhome I always let my clients know so they can look for signs of sickness as well. I also let them know that the kids are often most contagious before they show any signs and if they come down with the fever here, then they're super contagious. I do my best to separate, but the damage is usually done.

Kids get sick in daycare centres, dayhomes, school, when they go to their friends house. It happens.

I just had strep go through my house. I'm very lucky that only my family contracted it and none of the daycare families, but one did choose to keep their children home while it went through my house. I felt awful, but as she said to me... we're all human. We get sick. It happens.

If the client doesn't believe that you are cleaning or taking proper precautions then they probably aren't a client that you want long term anyways. They either trust you or they don't.
