Dangerous parent beware

[apples and bananas]

This is horrible. But thank you for sharing as it reminds us all of some great lessons.

Never interview until you talk to the person one on one. Do you research... get the last name.. know where they work, what they need and what they value in a provider before you offer an interview.

In my mind the interview is the last step. It's to make sure everyone is a good fit. Everything else, location, drop off and pick up times, food requirments, sleeping times etc can all be worked out over a phone conversation.

I'm sorry this has happened to you and I hope it goes away quickly.
