About 4.5 years ago I had a Mom come to me for a first interview...she was about 6 month prgnant at the time. She seemed really nice, enjoyed our time, and called me a few days later to let me know she wanted to go with my day Care. Yay! she seemed so nice! I kept in monthly touch with her for a few months (you always wonder when they a pregnant, if its for sure) we talked a few times after that and she still seemed fine. I didn't hear from her for a while, it was past her due date.....hmm. Then, I got a call from her, boldly informing me she had found someone who was a little closer to her home and who charged less. She was going with this one instead.....I happened to know the woman she named and also knew she was not licensed I informed the Mother of this, told her that her choice was ok with me but I just wanted her to know that not only was this woman operating illegal but was also not certified in life saving skills such as first aid and cpr, tried to point out to this mother that it was def more of a danger to put your baby in the care of someone unqualified. She said thankyou for letting me know, and hoped she wasn't making the wrong choice, and we hung up. About 6 moths passed, and who calls? The Mother that gave me the heave ho! says the provider was trashy, hitting on her husband and her daughter was always dirty and sick. I wanted to say, I TOLD YOU SO!!! but instead I smiled and said I would give her a second chance. (i know I'm crazy) long story short, I had the child for 3.5 years, lots of ups and downs, but enjoyed it all......then, find out the Mom is 5 months pregnant and didn't tell me......bringing me back to that first day I met her about 4.5 years ago......and what does she do almost 5 years later? screwed me AGAIN over price, chose to put her new baby in "free" care rather than the loving home her daughter has been in for 4.5 years. Price over quality for some. In my opinion......HUGE MISTAKE. This is childcare not a car wash.
