Parents making themselves at home

[CountryMommy]

I'm sort of confused. Do you use your bedroom as part of the dayhome?

I feel that a parent should be able to walk into any space used for the dayhome. That's why I love having very clear separate boundaries for my home and my dayhome. My entire upstairs is off-limits to daycare kids, daycare parents, and the agency I am with. My entire basement is used for the dayhome and my daycare parents are more than welcome to come into the basement if they so wish.

If you are uncomfortable with her walking into your bedroom (and any other part of your house), you should let her know. More than likely, she'll respect your boundaries.

I have to completely agree with countryMommy on this one. I have in my contract that parents are allowed to drop in at anytime and can access any part of my day home their children have access to, while their child is in my care.

I do use my upstairs for naptime but I use my guest room and shut all other room doors. Try and put yourself in your client’s shoes their precious child is sleeping in your room, have they seen it before? Who has access to that room while their child is sleeping?

Why would it disrupt your family was your husband napping while she entered?

Yes it’s your private room but it can’t be thought of as private if her child is sleeping there.

Is there a way you can get a divider in the room to separate the playpen during daycare hours?

I do think she was bold for getting it herself but maybe she has reservations about her child sleeping in your room.

Thanks for the reply. Basement, main floor and backyard are used as a daycare. I have the kids nap upstairs and told her I would be putting them in my room for naps.

She did this also before when they were sleeping in the office. I also found her trying to open my door to the front part of the house to come in. I keep that locked as have little ones that can open it.

My husband wasn't home from work yet.

Thanks! Yes they can come into my home at any time and into the backyard or anywhere on the main floor right now but the charging upstairs part kind of made me take a a double take on things.
The upstairs is for napping only.
