I agree that a few minutes of chatting is fine, after all that's the benefit of home daycare that's its more personal and you get that special attention that perhaps you don't receive at a daycare...

Yes! That sounds like a good plan and I've tried all these "gimmicks" and they work on a per day basis and next day it just goes back to same old. Problem is the dcb is always dressed with shoes on...

I have a dcmom who loves to chat at pickup time and delay taking her child home for some odd reason...probably because she knows he is a busy bee but that's not my prob! I have tried numerous...

I have made so many suggestions to dcmom and dad of the issues I suspect it could be aside from teething and they just seem to excuse it and say its teething and /or dcb knowing that if he cries,...

Well for the past 2 weeks they've been telling me that they will get him checked out by the doc and nothing yet. This morning it was so bad that I just felt no other way than to let mom know that he...

Further to my earlier post about a dcb who continues to cry and scream all day every day as a result of teething or act of control. Well, guess what I want to know is how long will you allow...

Thanks for all the feedback! I will try for one last week to see if it improves an if this week is anything like last then away they go!!!! Thanks for all your encouragement:)

As far as I'm told, the child sleeps well at night without interruptions (11-12hrs), then comes to daycare where he still has a morning and afternoon nap and most days I have to wake him up! He goes...

I have a dcb who is 14 mths old and has been with me for about 3 months. He has had some good days however most days especially fairly recent where he just screams/cries all day long. Parents say he...

I would do it now if I were you. I was in the same boat as you at the beginning but I had no choice but to keep with it and make it work for various reasons. I you do it now, atleaat it gives the...

Yes you would think a parent would be eager to collect their child and go home!!!! Not in this case. Please trust my judgement when I say this dcp is a piece of work-wonderful person who loves their...

How are your pickups? Quick or prolonged? I have a dcp who prolongs pickup as much as possible meaning when mom comes, she watches and allows her dck to continue playing for about 15 min which is...

I've never had this happen before but what do you do if you have booked vacation days and a dck decides to book their vacation same time as you? I allow each child 10 vacation days at 50% while I...

just wondering how it all works once you have a home daycare in terms of showing proof of income to the bank if applying for a loan or mortgage. this is the first year that I have been opened and...

I have a dcm who picks up her child everyday and knows that I not only have my own 2 kids but have dck that are still there when she comes and she just prolongs the pick up by chatting and watching...

I have dck ranging in age from 9mths to 4 yrs and I have to say my favourite age is 15mth to 2 yrs as they tend to listen well and are just easier to handle. I say this based on my dck of course. My...

Just edited my post...

When do you draw the line of running a home daycare that simply interferes with your family members schedules? Hubby doesn't seem to support me doing dc as he sees the wear and tear it has on our...

Just wondering how much of your day is spent directing activities for your group of kids. I have 2 kids under 12 mths, 19 mth old and 2 kids that are 3.5 yrs old so it's a bit challenging for...

The older ones are 3.5 and 4 and neither one of them will stay still long enough anywhere in the house to give me a break. I tried the tv thing but their attention span is that of a rock so while...
