    Hmmm, if they are saying it to be b$tchy , I would prob just smile and gulp my wine !! If they were just innocently asking , I would explain .
    I usually get a lot of sympathy because my mom , auntie, and their friends all "babysat" in their day !! So they understand !!! The younger ones are easily impressed by how I talk about my business and the rude ones I don't care to discuss myself with .

    I always respond by saying " professionally I try to refrain
    From sitting on children, it tends to be bad for business.".
    I actually have a tshirt that says something like it. I bought it from THE ooey goey Lady... You can check out her website..

    ECE53, you took the words out of my mouth! LOL I was going to be facetious too by saying "I don't sit on babies, what kind of care giver would I be!"

    I love it!!! Now...if I can actually remember it when I need it (I'm notoriously bad at messing up jokes too!).
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    Since you know they are being rude I would simply reply with "No." If they ask what you are doing now, tell them you are running a home based business providing child care.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.

On average, a listing is viewed each month by more than 210 parents looking for an available opening for their child!
