Looking for daycare in my area has not been an easy task. There are a very limited number of sitters available and for some strange reason I got looked at cockeyed when I said my oldest was 8 (as if it's too old.) Second week now into daycare and I am finding the sitter's payment rules disagreeable. She requested at first, a deposit of $50. Ok, I can understand that. So I brought over a check. She says she only accepts cash for various accounting reasons, in which I argued her misunderstandings of cash because this is my area of expertise so to say. So, she took a check on this one time basis, and asked me to reread the rules she issued the week before. I did and did not find this on there. No big deal, right? End of week one, I bring payment to her. She claims that we agreed upon $5 a day more than what I paid her. After civilly arguing that point, we finally concluded that what I paid her was correct. There was a change in scheduling Monday, Wednesday and Thursday due to illness, so for this week she only watched the boys 2 days. I paid her for 2 days and get a phone call about requiring full payment without 2 weeks notice for a change in scheduling and that I need to refer to these rules again. I sent my other half over to pick up the boys and ask him for another set of rules, because mine were not agreed upon as such. She tells him that I wouldn't have this copy because it's been revised. Don't you think it should have been discussed prior? Now I need to find someone else.  I would have been the one to give her extra money just because, but she is definitely the one that abused the agreement. I even practically stocked her fridge the beginning of the week with extra goodies for ALL the kids, not just mine. I wish I lived closer to family. | |

7452 points | So, just an update on my search for the best daycare provider in the area. There is just no one available. Monday, set up an interview for the only one with availability. Well, there's a reason for it and what I am about to relay is by no means to offend anyone that feels relatively similiar, but this woman should not be a daycare provider and I don't even know how she was certified. She was a 400lb cancer survivor that needs to be on a respirator periodically and needs back surgery because her walking is minimal. She has no tv because she cannot afford it, her floors and couches were covered in dust and dog hair, she lives 3 houses from the highway, her niece's face was bitten by the neighbor's dog and the neighbor happens to be the neighborhood drunk. And she lives with her overweight brother. I mean, who would be taking care of who. I am not making this s**t up. It is too outrageous to be made up.
-I think I might just become a daycare provider myself. I feel a need to save all the neighborhood children and their parents from these horrifying experiences. |
