This one ticked me off. What about all the times we are sick and forge ahead with our day not thinking twice about calling it a sick day and leaving the parents in a bind. Sorry, but on those days I'm not at my perkiest. I was once met at the door by the daughter of my old caregiver at 6:45am drop off...to have her say that her mom had a migraine and that the daycare was closed. No notice, whatsoever. But I expressed my frustration calmly to her the next day, she told me her side and it was done. I had no other issues with that provider, she was wonderful. Also, in the 2 seconds it would take you to get dressed while she is in your care...we just have to make those judgement calls throughout the day to safely leave them doing an activity and run for a bathroom break, for example. Ok, vented now
