So this week I began caring for a little boy 3 days per week from 12pm-7pm. Yes odd hours I know, but I am use to working evenings as I worked in nursing previously. Anyways, I had a VERY VERY bad day with him on Friday. So his first day, he bit my oldest daughter because she had a toy he wanted. I know he is delayed in speech and had expected that kind of behavior. But friday he was playing with my 11 month old and they were doing fine. I went to grab the snack from the fridge, and within seconds I heard a skreeching cry coming from my daughter. I ran to see him gripping my daughters face and shoving her backwards. My daughter was bleeding and had huge chunks taken out of her cheeks. I quickly picked her up and took him by the hand and walked him to the time out spot. I told him that we do not hurt other people and we keep our hands to ourselves. I had him sit on time out for 2 minutes (hes almost 2). Obviously I was very very upset and I wanted to call his parents and ask them to bring him home right away. But I didnt and made sure to closely keep an eye on him the rest of the day. I caught his hand 3 times as he was about to slap my daughter in the face. My question is how would you deal with that? Would you terminate? I will have a child younger than my daughter in May. And I don't know what I would do if he did that to another child.

I should also add his drop off time being not good to begin with, they have let him nap in the car every day so far and then naps he just screams at the top of his lungs because he doesnt want to sleep anymore. The first two days I went in calmed him and then left and he fell asleep relatively fast. But Friday I think they drove around for awhile as they asked to drop off earlier and then ended up here at the regular drop off. He screamed for over an hour. (yes I went in to reassure him several times). But like my children, if they fall asleep in the car even for 5 minutes nap time is a bust.

What do I do? I'm seriously in tears looking at my poor daughters face.
