Grrrr.... I Think I Might Take My Business FB Page Down

[Cozy_Kids_Childcare]

I would have untagged myself, and sent her an immediate termination notice. NO CLIENT will publicly bash me and return to my home.

I had no idea I could untag myself until now.... Which I did. I handed her termination notice yesterday. I wanted to immediately terminate, but my husband called me from work and was so stressed out that he was thinking about walking out. so with that in my head I gave 30-days. I have upped my hours by 30 minutes and even willing to take infants at this point which I didn't wanna deal with again but sometimes you just gotta to do it.

I am just starting out in the home child care. Did your facebook page generate a lot of business?

The short answer, for me, is no.

.....but....my clients love it. Out of state grandparents adore it. If I have a promising prospect
prospect, I may refer them to my page for a candid look at our program in action.

No one has ever called out of the blue and said "I found you on Facebook." Never.

I see it more as a parental communication devise, not an advertisement.

I've been stuck at 26 "likes"for forever. I need 30 to see my "insights". :: Looking for 4 volunteers ::

No not in this area I'm in. I've gotten more leads from putting it on a trash/treasure or yard sale FB page.

Wow, that seems wildly inappropriate on her part. You should be able to un-tag yourself in that post. Also, I'd block her and tell her to never include you in facebook drama again. I wouldn't engage in that if I were you. Just ignore the post and vent elsewhere (like here, .) .

I would put in my handbook that if you (still decide to) accept a friend request from daycare parents that they not tag you in any Facebook posts without your permission (like an event for your daycare as publicity).

If you are tagged, you can remove the tag. I would never get into it with a parent online. Take it to messenger or do it by email or do it in person.

I wouldn't get into it with anyone online, in messenger, test , or email. All she has to do is screen shot the conversation and post it online so everyone can see. If you don't want anyone to read what was said its best to do it in person

I think it's one thing to advertise your business, but to have pics on there of your home and daycare children is a big mistake. To add parents an even bigger one.

FB is not private, and I've found people on this website because of their FB and postings that live in my area.

Myself, I would probably take it down discreetly, and then later do a generic one without pics, parent friends, etc. with your contact info. only and just a business name. I wouldn't mention anything to the parent, handle it that way.
