It depends. Sometimes my husband will stay home and watch my kids if sick and I still work but let parents know I'm open but xxx is sick with. Or I just close to care for her usually if flu like diarrhea and throwing up. Or she's older now so if throw up and diarrhea is done like on a wkend and Monday she still needs to rest I open and she stays up or downstairs but I let the parents know she was sick on the wkend
