Creepy yes - annoying yes - more than common that I wish over the years yes. However, given what many of have said given Bill 143 there are going to be lots of caregivers contacting other caregivers trying to get a handle on options for their own kids if they go back to work so your other option is to approach it from that standpoint saying oh under impression you were caregiver - are you looking to leave daycare and need care for your own kids. If not that should really put them in a bit of an embarrassing state.
