Today I am a bit frustrated. I know I opened a tiny daycare in my home and am required to give the State my physical home address, phone numbers, and email addresses. No problem.
My understanding was that they could give my information out, IF AND WHEN I had openings to prospective clients who contacted them with special needs. I have not had one for years....
I was not aware they would be publishing this information for the entire world to see.
When I interview new families, I do not give out my physical address until I have done a phone interview and contacted their references. I have been known to run a background check or two in my day as well when I had my doubts. Typically I already know a few generations of each of my families BEFORE the interview.
Many of my clients are public safety/law enforcement and as such NEED to know their children's location is private to be able to concentrate on their job, YKWIM?
I don't feel safe knowing that some freak out there knows I am home alone with 6 kids. WTH were they thinking?????
I won't even go into the constant junk emails or almost daily calls I get from people wanting to sell me stuff and "training" offers that are not even accredited.
Do I not have a right to my privacy?:confused: Am I the only one who feels this way?
