    This one coworker that i really dislike, had the dam nerve to leave and not clean up the back room! She has a horrible attitude and when asked to do the back room she complains. I mean lets be real, its part of your dam job to clean.

    I asked her to clean the backroom and she reply" i am off" then walk off. She was lucky that we had kids and parents there or else i would have went off on her. Got me heated
    Can't wait to tell my boss about this...

    Can I ask something...why slander...

    I am a licensed daycare provider. I have put thousands upon thousands of dollars into my daycare, like I am sure many others. The monetary return I receive is so minimal, I usually end up loosing money before ever making any. I never really look at solely the monetary value of this line of career, but rather the value of being able to help children and possibly impact them.

    One thing I have found, however, since I chose this line of career, is the rather "vindictive" nature of how other providers can be. I recently advertised on care.com since I currently have room for two older kiddos in my childcare. Out of curiosity, I was looking at other providers in my community. I saw on several listings the same person, who is also a provider, indicating on the review portion whether the listing was licensed or not. While I understand that it's illegal to watch children who are not related to you, in your own home, without being licensed, I guess I question what that person who's posting the license status of another individual has to benefit from being so seemingly slanderous. If that is the only way that provider has to get business, to me that clearly shows problems with that provider in itself. It just seems really vindictive.

    Please don't get me wrong. Like I stated before, I am licensed and know how much work goes into the process in addition to the time and energy in running a business. However...if we, as providers, are doing this line of career to benefit the children, wouldn't you be happy knowing the children in a person's care are being well cared for regardless of whether they have a number behind their name? Why take extra time to slander another person who may or may not be licensed, take away the possibly beneficial environment of another child and also the drive that person may have in watching kids.?. I asked some of those people who listed whether they were ever contacted by the provider who wrote the review indicating their licensing status. They all said, surprisingly, no! Why???? If we as providers see people who are watching children not licensed, and are good at it, why not offer them help or guidance in becoming licensed?

    The person, "provider," who writes all these comments on different childcare listings, proclaims to be a very "sincere" Christian. No offense, but the God that I follow would never make comments or statements like that provider has made on different listings. In my opinion, that simply is not what a person who sincerely follows their faith would or should do.

    Underlying question...why slander someone who has interest in loving, caring, helping and possibly impacting children? Why not ask if they are licensed and offer guidance to become licensed BEFORE deciding to slander a person???

    Oh that was a good read ::
    I had several DCKs a few year ago (I was in a different location) and they would go into this hallway, turn off the light and sit and stare at the wall shhhhing each other to watch the movie :confused::: I usually redirected them right away, but one day I timed it and it was nearly 15m. So bizarre.

    i dont think you should raise your voice at another staff, but... it feels good when you do it! I told one of my coworkers today that i can't do everything around here with a high pitch voice. There was no kids around us, but just her and me.


    !!!!!happyface I been keeping my pent up anger against other staff, because she doesn't not do her fair share of work. I get swamp with the kids outside/inside where she just watches and doesn't lift a finger to help me...

    Also she doesn't do her job right while watching the kids i see kids falling left and right and she is off in her own imagine or doesn't seem to care to check on them. It drives me insane!

    I feel like i am doing all the work out here, and having to worry about the threat of getting in trouble due to the fear that i am afraid of having one kids getting injured and no staff witnessing it.
    Which is gonna result in all of us getting written up when i am doing my job to the fullest!While having a torn acl/mcl in one leg.

    P.S. One of my leg is smaller than the other and the kids are picking at me =☾

    So jealous! We have an area we are going to fence off, but decided we would rather have a large fenced off garden (protected from DCKs and dog) than a dog run. And I like her having lots of room to run and play. BUT it is occasionally nasty! All pants cleaned and dried before pick up, shoes cleaned and drying in the sun. I think its gonna be ok ::
