That's crazy! You really need to get your child out of there. Prioritize your child over her feelings. Sounds like a lobster in boiling water (water got hotter and hotter, while you got acclimated) scenario. Your child is your 1st priority, get him out now. I've never had a daycare worker act like this, it's totally unacceptable.

My boyfriends ex didn't want to take her BS out of the home day care he was in either. She had the same feelings that she really liked the woman and didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But really all that aside you need to be putting your son first. The oozing dog with towels wrapped around it would be enough for me. I do agree that your son should take the time to clean up the toys he was playing with so if you pick him up at the same time each day have her tell him to clean up early so he is ready to go.

But frankly I think you should find somewhere else for your children to attend. It doesn't sound like a very sanitary environment at all. Also her yelling at her disabled sister in front of the children and degrading her...this isn't acceptable either.

I would be looking for other facilities like yesterday. Don't feel bad, people move on all the time. Child care providers are used to things like this!

OMG... I was just considering moving daycares because the center no longer provides food.

You have real concerns here!
Dog bites are NEVER acceptable. My child has health insurance, but if she's having animals in and around the children- there has to be a limit to the exposure or supervised exposure. As a dog owner, it's her responsibility if her animals bite someone, how is it any different when those bitten are in her care as well?
Additionally, I would be livid if I stepped in dog shit. And I would never go back because of that alone- to make you wait while you're child "cleaned up" afterward is completely ridiculous. As a caregiver myself, I would never force a child to clean up any mess if the parent said they were in a rush.

It's not horrible to move- as another poster said these providers are used to it, they have people move all the time.
I'm sure you can find a better center that will still accept county assistance- I know there's several places that do around me.

OMG I would have major issues with this! I mean let alone the whole issue with your child.(which is a MAJOR issue) What she seems to be doing to the dogs. I would turn her in to the ASPCA for neglect on those animals. " and one of them is phyically visably ill... she has it like wrapped in a towel with duct tape so it doesnt like scratch at its oozing sores" THat is NOT the sign of a real animal lover. and not getting any of the dogs vaccines. That in itself would have had me worried, the dog that bit your child had NO shots.If she takes care of dogs that way, that would lead me to wonder how she actually cares for your child when your not around. (let alone the cussing at the sister)
Those living conditions that you mentioned.....the urine smell and all the feces is just completely unacceptable!!!

Get your child out of there now and I would call the health dept on her.

Sorry, but why haven't you pulled your child out? This person is obviously not trustworthy and you continue to take your chid there?

okay first of all i wasnt laughing at the situation i was laughing at the fact that im scared of my day care which isnt really funny more along the lines of rediculous which makes it a little funny... damn! and second i called and reported her... when i get my tax return i am more than likely going to switch bc i cant afford to just pay her 2 weeks now and have no other options... also the dog didnt bite my son it bit my daughter bc she was taking a crayon from his mouth which still isnt right but als everyone needs to keep in mind shit happens by no means am i sticking up for her but a home day care and a home setting shit can happen... i do plan on pulling my kids out and did reprt her and thank u all for the advice...

You reported her AND left your there? So it's bad enough to report but not bad enough to pull your child out ASAP.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this is crazy
