If I was the parent of the school age child, I would fire you. I hired you to pick my child up and you are not doing your job.So this mornng I contacted the two parents that require thier child to be picked up from school and told them due to the temp sitting at -24 today that I wouldn't be able to pick up thier kids from school today. The one family was happy anouybthis decision while te other family lost their s**t on me. I'm sorry but I can't control the weather and I'm not going to put three children under the age of 2 in risk of the cold weather.
Would you have done the same thing, or would you have still taken the three toddlers out in this cold?
If I were the parent of a younger child, I should have been told in the interview, that you would be dropping off/picking up school children. It would them be my responsibility to make sure I had my child dresses for these trips, also I be upset if you didn't take steps to make sure my child was as warm as possible during these trips. I would loose respect for you if I found out that you are not doing what you were hired to do, by dropping off/picking up the other child. I would make sure that I found a new provider before my child was ready for school, as you can are not reliable.
As a provider: I would make sure all my parents know about the drop offs/pick ups, have them dress their children accordingly and them add extra blankets to the stroller or wagon.
If the kids had older siblings and a stay at home parent, they might have to go along with the parent to do the drop offs and pick ups too. Not all parents have cars to keep there kids warm.
But this is all just my opinion.
