I noticed an ad on kijiji today in the childcare section--someone had posted a referral for a specific daycare, saying that her kid attended and they loved it and how good it was, etc etc. I've never seen an ad like that before. I clicked on 'poster's other ads' and found postings advertising the same daycare. So the provider is falsely posting referrals for her own daycare. Pretty low.

I just realized that an "inquiring parent" was actually a provider so I wouldn't hesitate to think that it could be her seeing how she found me off of that same site

I would soooo email her!!!

Saying - Hello, this is odd but I clicked on the 'posters other ads' section (like everyone else does) and notice that you're providing daycare for the add you're giving a refferal too.....is it just me or is that a bit of a No-No?

I get very frustrated when I see ads like this.....

I shake my head, and wonder are we really this cut throat?

We teach how to share, use manners, take turns, proper hand washing. and how to clean up!
I treat your children like they are my own I kiss booboos and wipe boggies I cuddle during movie time and spend some early mornings baking for them as feel that a cookie fresh from the oven is way better than the bag that was on sale at wall mart. We eat hot healthy Kid friendly lunches and snacks.

I do also do overnights during the week for $40.00 ( for that special occasion or just a break)

I agree .... unprofessional and doing more harm that good for herself ... honesty is ALWAYS best no provider should ever have to get 'fake referrals' for themselves.

Even when I was a 'newbie' I had references from people who'd seen my work with children either in a volunteer role, caring for families children, college professors and so forth .... think outside the box for your references but make sure they are 'authentic'!

IMO your potential clients catch you in a LIE than there goes your creditability in the community cause if you lie about something as silly as a fake reference than what else are you willing to lie about .... not to mention that we are ROLE MODELS to future generations and if our character is to 'lie to get ahead in the world' than well sadly that is going to be what children in the program see and whose going to want to send their child to someone like that?
