    Yeah! She's Not Going to Make it Past the Trial Period

    I always have a gut feeling about people. Sometimes I think to myself that I can't actually be correct 100% of the time.Nope! I am! I need to always go with my gut feeling. Every once in awhile I give in (I don't know why)
    So anyway, new girl starts on Monday.
    Day one-no diapers or shoes, nope go home and bring them back.
    Day two-20 minutes early, had to remind her about her contracted hours.
    Day three-has the nerve to drop off early again.
    Day four-shows up during nap time. Reminded her that I don't allow pick up during nap time, but of course since she was here did she want me to wake him up."NO, just thought I'd stop in and visit" are you freaking kidding me
    Oh wait, that's not all,n ever showed up to pick up her son, I had to call her emergency pick up. I left a message with her to call me asap. It's 7:30 p.m. and I haven't heard anything back.Thank you but no thank you. NEXT!!!!

        You're scaring me bad! I cant believe someone would behave like that, especially since they just started. That is completely insane!!!

        I have a new girl starting tomorrow and I have tried to be very clear about my hours since the mom said dad would be dropping her off at 7:15. I said "I dont open until 7:30" and she said "oh, he will drop her off at 7:30 then". My gut tells me they will try to come earlier. I put in my contract that my door remains locked until 7:30, no sense in trying to come on in as I am in the shower before then. We will see.

                  I don't think so! I won't get paid but who cares.I should let her bring him tomorrow and then give her the termination papers tomorrow at pick up, but who know if she'll even pay or pick her kid up?

                    Thats why if I ever go private, payment will have to be made in advance! I hope I never have to go through something like that. What time was the kid picked up?

                      Ohhh Lord!! Thats awful!!

                      It's almost Friday though!! I would like a update though to see if she trys bring her tomorrow morning. R you terming. You should change your payment system for the parents to pay you the beginning of the week at drop off instead of at pick up.

                          Wow, did DCM show up to pick DCB up or who ended up getting him and what time was he picked up? If DCM picked him up yesterday I would have told her not to bother coming the next day, either that or let her show up this morning and handed her a termination letter and not let her in . Sometimes inconsiderate people need to get a taste of their medicine to get the point.

                          KUP on what happens today. I'm curious as to what their excuse was for picking up late etc. Not to mention that they don't have reliable emergency contacts either. Did the emergency contact ever call you back? Talk about an all around nightmare .
