What Are Chances Of Getting MRSA Infection From Children?

Hi there I'm a nanny of 4 and they have had mrsa going back and forth between 4 family members for about 6 months now. The mother has been down-playing the illness so I didn't know that it was so severe until I just started researching it today. Currently 2 family members have it. I haven't seen any symptoms in myself but I'm wondering if I should quit before even going another day so save myself from getting it...or if I'm just over reacting?
