dear daycare providers I just want to let everyone in Calgary who runs a dayhome know of an experience I had with a potential parent this week. She called to arrange an interview for Mar 10th when she arrived she had no child with her she said he was at home sick, upon entering our dayhome she proceed with in 15 seconds to start bad mouthing my husband and I telling my husband he was too old to be looking after children, I personally have a bit of a limp to which she replied that handicapped people were not able to watch children either, she started to ask lots and lots of questions but refused to tell me where she worked or her last name. She was only in our home about 10 minutes when I asked her to leave stating that we were definitely not offering what she was looking for. Tuesday morning the licensing people as well as health inspectors showed up at our dayhome saying they had received a complaint about too many children in our home. I right away new where this complaint had come from, and allowed them into my home to check things out. I had nothing to hide and welcomed the safety check of our dayhome. As our dayhome was being checked one of our current parents called me and told me she had been looking on a dayhome website for care for a friend ( we are full) and checked out our listing she was dumbfounded when she read a review that had been posted on the Monday as it was so malicious and full of lies and threats. This girl wrote that she had personally seen to it that our dayhome had been closed by the city for offering unsafe care, she proceed to write that she had to remove her child from our home after spending only a day in our care as it was so unfit. I showed the review to the health inspector and licensing people and they couldn't believe it. They took care of having everything removed from the site but it is very scary just what this girl has in mind. In her review she also wrote that she drives by dayhomes to make sure that everyone is following the rules and that she will drive by our dayhome once a day till she makes sure it is closed. The licensing people have reassured me that wont happen as we have met all the requirements but it doesn't change just how scary this whole thing is. I want to tell everyone to beware as this has scared my husband and I, this girl is not stable. Don't know if she has done this to others or what her game is but it has certainly caused us extreme stress. Have run our dayhome for over 17 years and never ever had a complaint of any kind until this girl, don't know whats happening to the world today. She goes under Ana K that is all we got out of her.
