DD1 is sometimes asked to do short term daycare by social services.
Recently she had a child for just 3 afternoons, it can vary, sometimes it's more than one child. If I'm free I'll go and help.
I do not blog about these children as it wouldn't be appropriate.
I helped out recently though and realised a couple of days later that I had got nits, DD often gets them. Neither of us would refuse to cuddle a baby or toddler in need of reassurance.
No sooner had I got rid of the nits when I went to Ds's, a stray cat had got into his house, I persuaded it to leave after a while, unfortunately not before it had infested Ds's cats and carpets with fleas. I have an anklet if flea bites round each leg.
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.
This weeks veg box.
Another nice selection of fruit and veg for this week, I'll share it with Betty again.

I was expecting your bites to come from midges on the water.
Had em both. As a child carer myself the list of stuff you can get from kids is a long one. Worms. Ring worm. etc. oh and hysteria, Madness..... Just keep the ability to laugh!
Yep... I worked for 10+ years in non-profit child programs (emergency shelters, etc) and I had the worse case of pink eye I had ever had when there, lots of colds / flus, and other lovely things, caught from the kids. Couldn't be helped, but a nuisance just the same!

Biggest problem we had at work was head lice. (Is that the same as nits?)They tended to run through a class very quickly. I managed to avoid getting them by keeping my hair really short. And not letting my head get too close to the kids' heads - these little bugs can really jump!
Nothing like getting you hands dirty in the line of duty...all solvable though x
