I had the same person contact me. I told her to wait at least till the baby was born! Sheesh...anxious much? lol

The worst is when the PARENTS treat me like a third class citizen. That's the real kicker. It's like hellloooooo i'm RAISING your kids for you. You MIGHT want to treat me with more respect.

I have learnt A LOT from all the other providers. I have learnt how NOT to act around children that parents are...

In Ontario you are not allowed to have more than 5 children in your care no matter how many adults you have in the house. I can have 4 adults in the house but i am still only allowed to have 5 kids...
