    I wouldn't say that mine was a "bad " provider but she lacked experience.
    My son was 13 mths old when he started going to her place paert time and he cried alllll day. She seems overwhelmed , did nothing to reasure me acted like she did not know why he was acting this way etc. I took him out after about 3 weeks and changes my hours around so I could be home with him all day and work in the evening .
    Since then have become a daycare provider and met some amazing daycare providers who do an excellent job and love what they do!

    I just wanted to say that part time children take much longer than full time children to adjust to a daycare situation. I have looked after children in some capacity for more than 30 years and have had my home daycare for the last 18. In my experience it takes a part time child twice as long to settle. I would not say that the provider was "inexperienced", I would say that the child was not given enough time to adjust. JMO

    I agree that my son did not have enough time to adjust but I know she was inexperienced. She said so herself. She had just opened her daycare and had never cared for a baby besides her own. She was very pleasant and I'm sure she did the best she could.When I opened my own daycare a few years ago, I experienced a little of what she had to deal with . Part time kids do take longer for sure /
    Just wanted to add that she also chose not to give my son time do adapt. She admitted that had we not taken him out she would have asked us to do find him another place anyways.
