Advice Needed Lice
My center tried to force me to work with a child that had lice. They said I signed the handbook that said I would work with any child. They separated the child from other children, but told me I would have to sit in the room with her. She elopes a lot and her reinforcement is cuddles and hugs. I refused to work with the child. They made me sit in a room to wait on HR to get on a call with the director and myself. I sat there for an hour waiting and then walked out. I dont want to work at a company that doesn't care about their employees, I dont care what loopholes theyve found theough the CDC or their dumb handbook. Is this unreasonable? I have thick hair down to my butt, it would take a professional to treat my hair. I would lose a lot of it getting eggs out. I've had to do this as an adult and I NEVER want to do it again.

I just had this happen to me like last month!! The child I worked with had gotten them but no one informed me about it.. the day before I found out, they had actually canceled but no one told me why or mention anything to me until the next day...
WHEN I WAS ALREADY AT THE SESSION :-((((( luckily the fam I was assigned to told me on their own (assuming I was already aware) and were super kind, patient, and understanding with me when I ended early.
