Other providers' ads.....

[mom-in-alberta]

After I posted this, I saw one in which the provider put up pictures of the kids skating, with no helmets? Hey, I don't care what you do with your kids (within limits, of course!), but I hope you aren't taking DC kids on the ice without helmets? Some of them were pretty little!!

I would be super ticked if someone ripped off my ad....

And, I know it seems judgy... because it is... but if you are advertising in the written word, it should be correct! English is a second language for many, of course. Then it should be all the more important to have someone else look it over. It only takes a second. Does it tell me what kind of person you are, or if you will be good to my kids? No. But it tells me you are professional, and pay attention to detail. 2 very important things in a caregiver.
I also feel that each ad that says "ill pick up ur kid and wtch him for a few hrs" (yes, I saw that one!) detracts from our profession as a whole. But maybe I am overthinking it too much, LoL.

On the flip side, I don't mind the unprofessional ads too much as it makes mine stand out all the more
