First off the health of a provider who has the flu, chicken pox, strep throat, etc. is contagious to the children and if it's poor health such as arthritis, obesity, back problems, etc. the provider is providing lower quality care to the children as they can't play alot, run, bend, squat, etc. leaving little choices for entertainment.

The 1st part of your question is a "no brainer". Naturally, if you're caring for children you should not only be in good (if not great) health but you should be able to set a good example for the children in your care. I would definitely consider the health (both mental/emotional and physical) of the person that I was considering leaving my children with.
