Wondering what other providers do about children no one else wants to take?
I have quite the extreme case here, it isn't an issue for me because now I am full BUT I have the child's baby brother. I had the child's other brother as well but had to drop because summers here and my son is only 6.
Well 2 days ago one dcg was pulled to be put in a different summer program(whole other story!
) Her parents wanted her to return in the fall but I let them know top priority for me is to fill the spot. I offered it to dcb that had to leave because not enough space and parents declined because they had already hired someone. I understand that person expects Xamount$ for the four children so taking out dcb to put him here wouldn't work but I offered to them FIRST, then went to next on my list and they took! Yay ![Big Grin](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
But now that family has called me back for that spot. There DD is having a terrible time and the daycare provider called them wanting to quit on day one...!This same child has had the same issue with several other daycare's at least 2 that I know of. They wanted me to take the DD not the DCB that I had been watching.
I told them that if things didn't work out with the family I have lined up I will call them but I am concerned.... I want to help but not at the expense of my other children. Is there a resource I can provide to the parents or provider to help this family? Again this is an extreme case. I believe some ODD involved. She is very defiant and head strong, I am almost afraid that I would have to let her go as well if she doesn't get with the program... I don't meant that in a mean way but I make the children mind and they do.
I read on another post that we are just babysitter not the psychologist, I couldn't agree more! I do care for this little girl though. I think some of the reason she pushes so hard is to see if the people in her life will stick it out with her... But if 2 DC facilities and a in home licensed nanny can't do it... I am afraid to try![Frown](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/frown.png)
So what do you do:confused:
