    I would not give the info either. I don't even give my SIN number at tax time but my BIN. I would tell them straight up that this information is personal/confidential and you are not comfortable providing it. There would be concerns of identity theft as well. I would inquire further and ask why they want it? Is it that they want police checks done? If this is the case I would offer to do this for them at their expense.

    My first response would be to ask WHY they want each of those. They may have a reasonable (though misguided) answer.

    THEN, inform them they will receive a receipt at year end with your SIN and other needed information. Tell them who (as in my husband, a child) live with me but they do not need any more than that. Your drivers licence serves them no purpose.

    They should have asked for this before beginning care with you.

    Do you have a contract with them? It sounds like they feel you are working for them. This is not going to work long term. They need to understand you work for yourself and they are your clients and they need to respect the terms you set out.

    But a lot of parents do think "we work for them"...they think "I hired you to look after my child so you work for me!

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.
