Bottom line, for me... be HONEST!! If you are a fellow provider, I will probably answer most, if not all of your questions. We are in this biz together!
But if you feed me some bull-poop, and I find out.... Not cool.
PS> I have found that I can find enough info online, by browsing other ads and sites of providers, that I have never gone "phishing" for info. If I needed to, I would contact them directly and be upfront. In fact, when I was opening up initially, I had a friend who also did childcare answer a number of my questions/concerns. That was, of course, before I found you lovely gals, LoL.
