Daycare concerns - WWYD?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
So - I have grown uncomfortable with our daycare lady...
 
I had some minor concerns for awhile - but I brushed it off as not important. She just took a super long time to send the contract to us - like months. I didn't think much of it - as it wasn't a huge deal as she saw that more as a formality - and didn't need it to hold our spot with her. It always kinda bothered me on a professional level - but we did like her...so okay.
 
On Monday I called her to ask about DD starting on March 14th and also to set up a time to get together to meet again before she started. Well - I got a call this morning and she asked if she could reschedule our meeting. And then she asked to reschedule for the day/time that we are already scheduled for. And then asks if DD is starting at the end of March....no she is starting March 14th.
 
I am just thinking - didn't we already have this conversation two days ago? Are you serious?
 
So now I am starting to get nervous and uncomfortable.
 
But what am I going to do at this point? I feel like at this point - if we decide to not go there than we have to do a center - which is like $200 more per month....not that there is a price on our daughters safety and my comfort.
 
Ugh - I am just frustrated.
 
What do you think? What would you do?

    Hmm I would probably be uneasy too. No advice, just good luck and keep us posted!

    Wow, that sounds familiar! I'm going back to work the same day and DD is supposed to go to a local woman who has a family daycare from her house (6 kids, licensed, insured, 14y experience). I emailed her 3 times asking about what to bring and what to do to get ready--no response. I call and she says to email again with my questions. She actually responded, but only answered 1 question and said "we'll talk about the rest in person". Oh, AND by the way, I'm going to charge you DOUBLE for the first hour because it's an early drop off--nice that she didn't mention that when I put my deposit down 5 months ago. I'm so frustrated, that's an extra $2,000/year just for that hour.

    I think you're overreacting. Our daycare center couldn't remember when LO started either. As long as your LO is getting the amount of attention a level of care that you're comfortable with, I wouldn't complain or worry.

    Thanks for your responses. I just talked to my mom and made me feel better. The most important thing is that she takes good care of DD - which I do think she will. These really are just minor hiccups - no one will be perfect....

    I would meet with her and see if you still feel uneasy.  Usually our gut reactions are right.  You could also be more uneasy about things just because you're nervous about leaving your LO with anyone.  I'm sure it's easy to look too far into things because you love your LO so much and just don't want anything to happen to her.

    If it were me, I wouldn't send her there. If i had any uneasy feeling, I just wouldn't be able to send her. This isn't a situation in which you wanna look back and have to say "What if I had not put my daughter in her care.."

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do! I know how hard it is to leave your LO with daycare!

    This decision isn't easy for anyone, and not everyone has the luxury of being a SAHM or having friends/family to watch LO.  Obviously PP loves her LO and wants/is doing whatever is best for her.  I wouldn't call that shameful.

    Eddy321, dont bother replying to pattismartcoshi...pretty sure she is a troll.
