I personally don't take the kids out in a car, because 1. we only have one car, and 2. I don't feel safe doing this. Some parents are uncomfortable in having their provider take them around in a car.



I just go out when and if hubby is home earlier than normal. And I let parents know that he's the one who's in charge for those hours!

The county/ministry if licensed wont let you leave a child with anyone else but the provider who is paid for the care..so unfortunatly in my case all subsidzed children have to come with me no matter where it is and cannot be left unsupervised by me with anyone else..even my husband who also has criminal record chec and lives here lol! therefore if i go to doctor, even if its in the childs best interest to stay home and out of the germy location, i have to tae them with me or close ...which parents just say bring him with you!!..same with groceries, so I figure if I have to feed them , then getting groceries every other wee is part of daycare and part of my job, I wor 12 hour days, so it certainly going to get done while i have daycare ids here. Bills also have to get paid, so cheques get cashed as they are dated..and daycare children come with me..its all part of the day. cleaning is part of the day too, and whether parents lie it or not I clean during the day too..its all part of the job. I do choose to do these outings as educationally as possible and when i have lower enrolemnt.
