    For me the strangest is when they don't have any (or hardly any) questions for me & are ready to sign?! Or the fact that NONE of my DCP'S have asked for references (I willingly offer to provide them), to view my First Aid/CPR certification or my Criminal Records Check.
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    NONE of my families have asked for references, or CPR or First Aid, or Police Record. I always find it strange when people sign up on the spot. I don't know if it's an insecurity, but I always ask myself: "why would someone trust me with their child so quickly?" If it were me, I would have a nanny cam in my kids' bag at daycare lol I have had two families come for 15-20 minutes and signed up within 15 minutes of leaving. I guess I am just awesome like that

    I don't think I have had any really strange questions. The only weird thing I had was just recently. There's a rocking chair in the main playroom, and mom sat down, took out a notebook and started asking me questions. I felt like I was at a job interview. And she wrote down my answers. I thought that that was really weird - just uncomfortable. But I don't think I've have any abnormal questions
