Wondered what you guys do

No. Not socializing during my work hours. No phone calls no texting, no solicitors, no other people in my home (just family with criminal record checks and child abuse checks); i do not do house work or cook; when i have been payed for "caregiving", my time is spent 100% with my group. Calls and text are accepted only in case of emergency (thanks for call display:0), everyone is aware of that. They leave a message and it will be checked and answered if necessary during nap time.

I personally think he should get the criminal reference check, just in case of any questioning. It would be awful if you haven't told the parents and the little ones did. (If they are in that age).

I also think if your relationship is serious then he should be introduced but, if you are unsure yet then dating should be out of your hours of work (you both deserve privacy to figure it out). Do not let this geopardize or interfere with the work you do, keep a.clean reputation, specially when we work with the most susceptible sector of our society "children".

I actually don't think it's a big deal if he visits during daycare hours. As long as you are not distracted by him and as long as you've known him for awhile now. A home daycare should feel like home and it's nice to have some company. I occasionally have my mom over, or my aunt, sister, and even a neighbour. My daycare kids still get the attention they deserve and we follow the routine like always...
