Get your kid tested ASAP (children can clear faster/better if virus detected early) and FIRE your babysitter!

Thanks for the reply, and I will be but because the razor was in reach.... I understand that it happened when he was going to the rest room and he won't let anyone in there but I think the razor should have been put up!!!

The risk would be very low and zero if she had not cut herself. I would be more concerned about finding a new babysitter, she should be watching a four year old better..... Best to you.
