Strangely High Call Volume

[cfred]

Jeez, I almost never get calls for 2 and 3 year olds! 90% of the time, it's infants. I wonder if that IS what's happening...people cleaning house or shutting down. I didn't get the impression from this woman that her arrangement was with a provider. I think it was just a neighbour. Either way, pretty crummy to be left dangling just a week before going back to work. I can't imagine the stress she's under.

Teagansmom, most of the inquiries I'm getting are also for the September. I guess I'm lucky that that's when my spaces are opening up as I have 3 going to school.

Same here....I WISH I had calls for 2-3 olds. The odd one I do get, it's usually a child who is getting kicked out of their daycare because of behavior problems. Not kidding!

Honestly, the way the media has been spinning all these tragedies, I bet a lot of DCP are like " to h*ll with this". They want out because of LIABILITY I bet. Nobody want to be the next front page story. That and the fact that as mentioned a lot of DCP really think bill 143 is going to pass and are preparing.

I read through the 2nd reading again today and a lot of issues have been raised from providers and parents perspectives that is good but there really isn't any feedback from the people who will decide what eventually occurs. Madam or Mr Speaker are barely a Narrator for the debate.....not very eye opening

OMG....nicest woman in the world! She was lovely and that was a very easy interview. I'll be taking her on in a month or so when my new mothers have recovered some and are willing to give up some of their space. I told her though, in light of Bill 143, she should get out there interviewing and try to find something she's comfortable with so she can sign a contract and hopefully be 'grandfathered in'. She had no idea what Bill 143 is. There are still a lot of people who are unaware.
