Couple More Questions

I personally don't think you owe anyone an explanation of any sorts of who is in your care. It is not their business. They don't tell you how much they make or other specifics of their job.

i disagree - asking how much someone gets paid and asking if their child will be the youngest in daycare are 2 totally diff. things. those "little things" do matter when you're putting your child in daycare. if the ages/number of children your keeping don't matter, then what does? does the menu matter? does the length of naptime matter? does how much time they go outside matter - or is that just nobody's business? they could be choosing her because she doesn't have other infants - in which case it would matter.

to the OP - you were telling the truth when you told the first family that they'd be the youngest, but if you're concerned enough to post about it - i'd say give them a call and let them know that you'll have two infants...reassure them...and let them decide. otherwise, they might think u were lying.

i personally didn't have more than 1 infant when i was keeping 4 kids - and that WAS important to the parents of the infant i was keeping and ME.

As long as I stay legal.....it is no ones business how many or what age I am caring for. And to me it is the same......asking a provider how many children they care for to asking a parent what they make. I can see a parents wheels spinning.....oh this provider has 5 children at $85 per week..........

I am asked this question a lot. "How many children do you watch", from now on, my response is going to be either "Not enough to pay the bills", or just come back with "How many hours a week and how much per hour do you make". Bet they wouldn't tell me. Amazing how some people think our personal business is their business.

Asking what is the youngest age of you care for, or how many under age 2 do you care for is different that asking how "many" you have in your care.
