so i went to drop off cash over at daycare this morning, AND i gave her notice that Cash wasnt going to be attneding daycare next week or any week for that matter. I told her that i'm having financial problems (which is sorta true) and that i cannot afford her care.
The truth is, is that I could afford daycare, however, i didnt want to drop the load on her that i'm not satisfied with her services (YET) because cash still has one more week to go until i transition him to a new daycare. and i fear her torturing him to spite me.<--unlikely but its just my fear.
Last week Tuesday, she called me up at work, saying she needed me to pick my son because of his rash, which i did and took him to a doctor, who diagnosed it as fungal infection or something, gave me cream then sent me on his way. He DIDNT say it was contagious. So the sitter calls me up that night and says to keep him home until Thursday. I can't force my son upon her. So Thursday comes and he had a terrible nasty ass cold. I stay home thursday and luckily He gets wayy better.
Friday comes and the bitch was GONE!!! she wasnt at her house when i went to drop him off. I called her and apparently, she said she left me a message at 730 am saying that she has a sick baby with her and refuses to call his mom because of some excuse that SHE cannot afford to take off work. I was LIVID!! My daycare provider was busting a double standard on me!
I went off on her and said how it was unfair that she wont take my rashy baby, and to pick him up and NOT return him until he was all better. I was sooooooooooooooooo bitter at her.
Well his 'new' daycare won't be available till March 10.
I gave my curent sitter notice and she goes on and on about how her bills are due and she acted as if her whole world was going to crash. I can't wait to bitch her out. or just have her out of my son's life for that matter. ugh!
ugh. i'm soooo bitter at her. i need to get over it. i can't wait till the end of the week.
///sorry for the long vent.

After you get your son out of there...turn her in. She is breakin' tons of LAWS with the way she is running her business.
Shut her down.

On Friday, i can't believe she proceeded to tell me to go ahead and drop my kid off anyways. I was like um, no. why would i drop my HEALTHY kid off at your place when i am now aware that there is a sick child there you are refusing to get rid of.
Rocko, i have feeling that she's taking advantage of the fact that i am young, and thinks i have shit for brains.

In a daycare...if the child has a fever of 101.5 they must be sent home. This is not an option. Even in an in-home child care enviroment. Unless she is just babysitting then she has to follow state laws for your area. If she is keeping more than one or two kids then she must get a permit for running a business out of her home and get certified and everything.
Seriously, she could have killed your son leaving him in a car.

she is certified. when she called and left a message that she was taking care of a baby that was puking mucuos, she said to go ahead and drop my child off anytime. i wasnt so thrilled to drop my baby.
she is definitely doing something illegal, but i can't prove it. i honestly don't want to jump the gun unless she isnt going to withdraw my son smoothly.
she asked me this morning if i'm going to pay for the week that he isnt going to be there, because she requires a "two-week" notice. i said no. i have no money.
i seriously didnt want to go off. because my son is still under her care.

she was bitching on friday that i was late. i was not late. i arrived same time i do everyday. she was bitching because she has no communication with all the parents. how the hell she giong to bitch at me for having no communication when she knows my daily schedule, which is: 8:10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
i think that she is stressed out by the other parents and taking it out on me. too bad for her, i was the guarunteed income for her every week. maybe if she was more diligent and professional i would have taken her flaws lightly. but she has no passion for this profession.
i seriously can't wait till the week is over. cash would be sooo much happier in that other place.

//how did i not see this coming with her? my judgment of her in the beginning was that she was educated, and interested in teaching the kids something, and actually giving a shit.
i swear, when i pay for something, i always expect to get my money's worth. in this case its not, therefore I AM bitching.
so, //////i'm done bitching//////
/end of vent/

You can easily report her to the state who may show up for a surprise inspection. If she is breaking any regulations she will be cited. She will not know that you reported her. For the sake of other children in her care and her parents, I hope that you make that phone call. I find it so sad that requirements to run a daycare out of one's home are so minimal. Centers generally have more stringent requirements regarding the staff that they hire, and their education and training (at least in my state.) If you are looking into daycare providers it's always good to check out if they are NAEYC accredited. www.naeyc.org/I hope you have better luck with your new care provider.

I would turn her in...State-to-state, the laws vary about what temp a kid must have reached before they aren't allowed to be there but here, it's anything over 100.7. Also, if they have been vomiting, they must stay home for 24 hours from the last time they were sick. There are tons of others but I would call and turn her in if I were you. At least, they start an investigation, it makes her life hell at the moment, and they don't find any wrong-doing. At best, they do an investigation and find that she's doing all kinds of things wrong and no children or parents have to deal with poor quality of care because she can't get her act together.
