Provider Who Work Alone

[canadiancare]

What do you do when you need to go to the washroom and you are waiting on a kid to be dropped off?

Usually, I wait.....while doing the potty dance. But if I can't wait, I lock the front door and go really fast. So far, noone has come while I'm in the bathroom

[originalkat]

I try to wait...but if I cant I just go ahead and go. I have had someone come to pick up while in the bathroom Sometimes it happens.

[VTMom]

I check the driveway, check both directions of the road (both visible from windows) and RUN!

I don't work alone but I have wondered the same thing. Like if you really had to go, you know, poop!!

[just_peachy]

I eat lots of fiber in the morning (chia seeds in my smoothies, mmm...) and coffee too, so I'm very "regular." But I do the ol' lock 'n run too! It's very stressful !

[CedarCreek]

Yup, lock the door and go. You gotta pee sometime!

I do this, too.

Usually I wait, though sometimes I can't. Parents shouldn't be offended if they come and you happen to be in the bathroom, because you're a person too! I know some of them would be, but they are dumb

pee fast! :: Seriously.


I do have an entryway that is divided by a half door. When parents arrive they take their child's things off and hang them in their cubbies. There is a bench in the coatroom so they can simply have a seat until I am finished with my business.

My families are almost all on their 2nd or 3rd child in attendance so most are pretty laid back and comfy here so this is not something I have ever stressed about or had an issue with in all my years of doing this.

I unlock the door and run. I'm not regular and if I wait too long, I can't go and I pay for it for hours.

My daycare is right off the front door, so there is no where they have to go to get to the daycare space.

This is what I do also. So far none of my parents have shown up, but my licenser did one time!

*hi 5 for fibre I do chia, flax and hemp on my cereal in the morning.
