Errands

[Suzie_Homemaker]

I don't.

In my view, we are being paid to work not run errands. Not saying others shouldn't, but it not sit right with me.

I think if I paying person to care for my child, I would be annoyed if provider running errands and bringing my child along. If I wanted my child running errands in day, then I stay home and bring with me. It blur line between babysitter who just supervising child for safety and day home which provide safe, nurturing and educational environment with focus on child's needs not provider's.

Sure, if work outside home, I'd have lunch period to run errand that day home provider not have, but that is one of down sides being self-employed our of house.

Not knocking those who do it, as sure they have okay from parent but I wouldn't and don't.
