I told him that my next spot is not opening up until end of August. He does not introduce himself. I ask him how he heard about me? Word of mouth? Kijji? he said word of mouth but couldn't remember the persons name. Maybe it was a Laura? I do indeed have a laura as a client. He tells me Laura sometimes babysits and she changes diapers. HUH?? Ummm...okay definitely not my client. He then starts to question my diapering policies and if I do indeed change diapers. Of course, I'm a daycare provider. Then he goes into detail how his last provider did not change diapers and how their son would get a rash. Was asking where I change diapers (mat on floor, changing table, etc.) then asked my technique (WTF?) and he was breathing very, very heavily. Then I got a clue what the sick bastard was up to...then he hung up.

If you get a call for care from a NO Caller ID and the man does not give you his name and just is hell bent on talking about diapers. Hang up. Some sick people out there
I very vaguely recall reading something somewhat similar on here a long while back (like a year ago) something about phoning and asking about diapering, and whether the change table is near a window. I believe another daycare provider posted something like that on this site. I wonder if it is the same creep...or if there are multiple creeps phoning home daycares about such things.

Any chance a call to the police station (non emergency number) would be useful? They might be able to track it, despite it being a private number.
