Even if you can take of a few days and the weekend following that will be the best. It will give you time to rest up and get casught up on things as well before having the dc kiddos back into your home.

Buy lots of hand sanitizer and be clear that they are not to touch the baby, I would also send home a notice about illness and be firm on this!!

Good Luck with everything and remember...parents may get angry BUT if they care about you at all they will understand that you need time off as well, they for sure took time off when they had their babies!! I am amazed at how many parents forget that WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!!!

I thank god everyday for the families I have in my care, understanding, polite, and most of all they respect me and my family!!
