It does seem strange, but as long as someone is reliably picking the child up it is okay with me. I'm going to be confirming with the parents that they have an alternate backup person encase the former provider isn't around (like on holiday) or if she decides it isn't working for her to do the pickups anymore. I can only assume they are paying her to do it.

But I don't think I have to worry about her asking for summer spots because I just saw her ad on Kijiji looking for a person to come to her home to watch all five of her kids for the summer (she came to see me about care for 3 of them). Though I don't know how much luck she'll have, she is only offering $50 for a 10 hour day with 5 kids.

But she can do whatever she wants, just would have been nice for her not to leave me hanging - especially from someone who is/was also a daycare provider. Guess we'll see how it goes at pickup time on Tuesday. C'est la vie!
