MelCald said:I am a family childcare provider. Have been for 9 years. Right now I have a family that is driving me insane. I am wondering if it is me, or them.
For instance..this morning they come in and tell me that 2 of their 3 kids have swimming lessons tonight, right after daycare. They want me to give them something to eat right before they get picked up at 5:30 since they won't be home until 7:30. I don't think it is my responsibility. I feed them breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack at 3:30. If they want their kids to eat, they need to pack something they can eat in the car or pick them up earlier and take them home to eat.
I know this sounds very petty, but it really is just "the straw that broke the camel's back".
So what kind of "extras" do you expect from your childcare provider?

When I had a daycare I charged for "extras, " like extra meals. They also had the option of bringing food like dinner and a snack so I could warm it up if needed and I explained to the other kids what was up and had them eat in a seperate area than the other kids to avoid "I wants."
I know dealing with parents is usually more difficult than caring for the kids . Please revise your policy and contract if you decide and let them know as soon as possible.
