    Talking Got another call that made me laugh

    So on Saturday afternoon I got a phone call:

    Lady: I am calling about the daycare.

    Me: Yes, I can help you. What would you like to know.

    Lady: I was looking at your website and was every impressed. I have a one year old daughter. Would you be able to watch her this Tuesday from 5 to 10pm.

    Me: Sorry, are you looking for a babysitter

    Lady: Yes

    Me: I am not a babysitter I am a child care provider. There is a difference. My hours, which are posted on my website are 7:30 to 5:30.

    Lady: Sorry. Would you happen to know of anyone who does babysit?

    Me: Sorry, I am looking for a babysitter myself.

    Really. You are looking at my site and still think I am going to babysit.
    I am happy that she like my site and that my phone has started ringing again, but come on.

    lol

    That is too funny!!!!

    PS ... depending on where you are in Ottawa both my daughters babysit. My oldest is will be 18 in May and is willing to drive depending on location and my youngest who will be 15 in May isn't as available or flexible but she does back up care for my oldest if it is needed. Both girls were raised in home daycare and have tons of experience they both can run daycare in my absence.

    Ohmygoodness Valerie, that's a funny one. Seriously, what is wrong with people? I hope the next call you receive is from a sane woman!

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
