Just keep t he kids busy with fun games and easy crafts it will make them happy and you'll feel better too. Remember to keep doors locked and try and stay indoors just in case.
Here is an easy and great craft for kids

1/2 cup of wter

You can eithrer wait for it to dry (about a day)
or if the parents say its okay you can cook it in the oven for 1 hour at 200 degrees

remember what you usually do such as feeding times, snacks, movies they like, things to do outside to keep them busy. You can do it, just have fun and if all else fails, call your friend and ask for advice.
