Provider Who Work Alone

I hope you know I'm joking.

I was like :::::: - wait.... - then no, surely ::::::.

Good one ::::.

I wear adult diapers so I never have to worry about this.

We always joked about doing this at one of the centers I worked at. There was NEVER anyone to let us go to the bathroom. We always said we would make our own cubbies for our diapers.

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

same here.
it happens to me in the morning when I am waiting on kids BM's always hit in the morning...

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.

This. I wouldn't lock the front door because then I would have parents knocking and ringing the bell and I find that more annoying then them coming in on my bathroom time.::

I just go. If I get "caught" in the bathroom so what! It's not like I am smokin' a bowl in there or anything! LOL

I don't work alone now, but in past years, I got the "power pee" down to an art form.....::::

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 me too, and I can't always go "quickly". I have only had to go once while waiting for a drop off, and I just went and brought DD with me. When they arrived, I yelled from the door, "be right there, DD is pooping" (she's 2, and needs help, so it worked out.)

My parents use the electronic lock, enter and play with the children until I am done.

[HomeMADE]

While you can not predict mother nature I do make sure I get up in time to do all my private business before 6:30 am, my first drop off.

The time that I am the most unsure about when to go and not go is during my "time of the month", where I am in there easily every 2 hours. I just put babies and crawlers in play pens, I lock the glass storm door and go. I have not been "caught" yet, but I am just going to tell them I had to go.

I can't imagine any parent not understanding.

[Childminder]

I just go. I do leave the door to the bathroom open and have a front door alarm so if it buzzes I just give a holler and say: Going potty, I'll be there in a moment". I never shut the bathroom door anymore, if I do some child opens it or cries while pounding on it cause he/she can't see my face. If I leave it open they don't even bother me.
