Thankful to great DCP's

[33 Daiseys]

Out of 5 dcp, I usually have 1 that are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST...you could want...she is sooooo accommodating (mind you her mother ran her own home daycare while she was growing up so she has seen it all (lol).....and then I have 3 dcp that are simply not the worst or the greatest...and then there IS ALWAYS 1 (with me anyways) that her child could not reach 4 soon enough....this child is almost 3 years old....every sentence that comes out of her mouth starts with "I DON'T WANT" ....or "I WANT"....They went to Florida 6 weeks ago and I can not for the life of me get that child to use the word please or thank you ....gone....not in her vocabulary anymore....she went back to peeing in her pull up again...pooping again....and she whines from the time she gets here til the minute she leaves.....She threw up all over on Tues ....shows up Wed morning with her child....I'm like...NO...SHE SAYS....IF YOU AREN'T PROVIDING YOUR SERVICES FOR ME TODAY THAN I DON'T HAVE TO PAY YOU...CORRECT! Honestly I don't like not giving dcp no notice....p.s. the mother knows I have a "NO CHILD BACK FOR AT LEAST 24 HOUR " RULE

Wow thats nervy. |Please tell me that you didn't take her.

Hell no....I told her .."you know the 24 hour rule"....do you not care about the other kids or my family? When she paid me today,..I counted it out...and said thank you

I've been open for 1 year as of Aug. 2 and I must say it's been crazy. But the parents have gone through it all with me, been supportive and understanding. I had to change my contract a few times and I even raised my prices due to Bill 10; they stuck with me through it all. It's a compliment that they have believed in me and know how serious I take my business. I truly love my current clients. I did have one set who caused me some headaches and communication always seemed to be an issue, but they are gone now and I'm very happy/comfortable with who I have left.

They are very thoughtful at Christmas as well. I had two clients who filled baskets with something for each of my family members (even my dog!) and a dinning card for myself. So sweet

I've had some great parents too. Have one now that checks in if other kids are still here late afternoon, and if not she'll pick up her child early too. Also have parents asking about childs behavior here and tries to mirror techniques at home to help improve behaviors. But have had some doozies too! Yay for the good ones!
