I don't like it!

Like mickyc, I believe parents should not be making themselves comfortable in MY HOME. My daycare is also in the basement. I have an intercom system where parents buzz me and I open the garage for them. They come in through mud room and bring their child down to the basement. I can't hear the front doorbell from the basement and have no interest in running up and down the stairs ha ha!

I keep front door locked. I like to know when there are people in my house. They don't have to give notice when they are coming but I think using the buzzer system keeps us all safe.
