Parent calling to speak to the child

[mom-in-alberta]

I am just curious; how old is the child? How does he/she respond to mom's calls?
I would also ask/demand that it stop. What an interruption in your day, because SHE feels bad about being at work. It also may be that there are trust issues with your care, which is unfortunate.

I have seen daycare ads telling parents that they can skype with their child during the day.
I can't even imagine how a provider could commit to that and find the time to go sit in front of a webcam with the kids.

I have never had a parent call for their child. They are all too young to really talk on the phone - aren't they? That would mean you have to stay there holding the phone?

I have parents sometimes call to tell me something but definitely not to talk to their kids. Most of the time they don't even ask about how their child is doing when they call.

oh yes mom in alberta. i am sure she doesnt trust me. and i have told her if she doesnt trust me theres no point. the child is more than 3 yrs. she is more than 4 months under my care.the reason parents give me now is that the child doesnt cry under my care but they want to call and speak to the child just for their satisfaction. i dont worry if they leave bu they dont want to and i am not sure if its a valid reason for me to give her a letter. but yes i am not going to answer their calls anymore during daycare hours. i just thought it was rude not to. and they kept on calling every minute until i answered. so sometimes i felt like just replying the call and finishing it off for the day than hearing the phone ringing every minute.
