    Don't worry about it. We all learn from our mistakes. A lot of caregivers put their number up because a lot like u prefer the over the phone instead of email. I am totally the opposite. I hate talking on the phone or in person....that's because I'm shy, although I've come along way. I prefer email so that's why I don't have my number up. Just keep ur number off for now u can also send it once u get an interested parent by email. And don't answer the private number calls for awhile. He'll stop bugging you eventually

    I would check with your phone company if there is a way to trace the call or flag it. I believe there are codes you can punch in when you get such a code that allows the phone company to check that number. Ask. Next time he calls do this and see if someone will follow up on it.

    I do recall reading a similar story on here quite a while back. A man calling numerous times to ask questions about diaper changes.

    Unfortunately when we post our contact info it does allow the creeps and weirdos to contact us! All you can do is not give him what he wants...which is the chance to talk about diaper changes and hear your reaction. Keep hanging up.

    I also had this weirdo call me a few months back. I posted about it on Daycare Bear as well. Super creeped out. Used the same tactic. Looking to place his 2 year old son in care and then started talking about diapers. He was also breathing heavy. I hung up. Sick SOB.
