OP here again and yes as the 10.06 poster pointed out this provider claims that she is the way she is because parents made her that way!! She says she has 27yrs of experience and "when you are doing it for this long then you ahve to harden up"!!! Yes she is bitter abt past experiences and that is what causes her to be this way. And I did everything by the book - interview, 3 visits, ask all sorts of questions but I guess never figured that I will not be able to take her "tough love" attitude!!
Hi All,
I put my 9 month old in an in home daycare. The lady seemed a little too strict with her "Rules" but I liked her program for the kids and I liked the overall condition of the house so I put my infant there this week. Then started the fun, she kept on quoting rules from her contract but never signed and gave me back the contract. WHY? Because this is a trial period of 2weeks and she was not sure if she was satisfied!!! Then this morning I reached her doorstep at 6:59 - opening time is 7am, I kncked , she did not open. Ok fair enough I am early I go back to the car and go after two minutes..as I enter she yells "JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOCK OF MY DOOR I WILL NOT OPEN IT IF IT IS NOT 7AM"...it was freaking cold and breezy and was I wrong to ask her to open the doors a minute earlier. Then she went into a tirade about how people do not follow her rules (which by the way are in her contract that she has and I have no idea what all rules she has).
I AGREE everyone is in this for profit but what happened to humanity????? Are these the people that are taking care of our kids?Also she has a very gruff style of talking - she only had one infant before I put my son and now I realize why there were no takers. She also seemed extremely rude but I put it down to her style of talking. Needless to say I am taking him out of there. She is based in Rockville. In case you are looking for daycare in this area PM me and I will tell you her name - STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!
We just moved to the area and I am looking for an in home daycare for my 9 mo old son. Does anyone know of a one that they would recommend?
Thanks in advance!
