I'm not really sure about some comments; but I always tell them that I'm not afraid of becoming licensed, and I clearly explain to them that what bothers me is a third party taking advantage of my hard work. I support best the independent licensing idea but not through agencies. I also have shown to parents the cost of licensing (so, they can see that the agencies move isn't just for "quality"and or "safety"; it is more of a financial conflict of interest.
