Does anyone watch children with seizure?

I would not feel comfortable keeping a child with this condition in my care. First of all, there is just way too much risk involved. Second of all, why did the parents not tell you up front that he had had this type of "regular" seizure as well as teh "febrile" seizures (I put those in quotations because I don't really know the difference)? If a parent is hiding vital information like this, they would be gone immediately. I feel for parents who have to deal with this type of thing, but it is YOU who could end up being sued and your life ruined if the child dies in your care or if another child is hurt while you are busy dealing with a seizure.

Febrile seizure - Is caused by a child having a fever and it triggers a seizure to start. So you sorta get a prewarning.
Regular seizure - you do not get a warning, it can happen anytime of the day.

my daughter has them when her temp goes up one degree higher. it is very scary and had no idea what happend with she first had one i was in shock. she had one around 13 months her first one and had mutiple ones that are longer and full blown Seziures. my adivce to you is make sure everyone is clam place them where they cant get hurt and put him on his side. if he has one for more them three mins call 911 or any signs of not being able to breath. likley my daughter has had hers when i didnt have the daycare kids. Its not something that i would want anyone to go through.
