Update to the sitter trilogy

TANNER'S MOM wrote: Well, I went to pick Tanner, and she wasn't suppose to be home right. Well, she was. And as I sat outside waiting on the bus she comes outside and says I understand you are upset, why don't you take $10.00 off your rate this week. I said I am sorry I make more than $5.00 an hour for the 2 hours I had to take off.

And she looked at me like Wtf?? I said I am sorry but this isn't working out. I told her I letter that I wanted to give her. And left it at that.

I went and met a new after school provider the "school" recommended. This woman only does after school care, and when Tanner went in there was all kinds of kids that he knew. He was so excited to be with his friends. And really liked the concept of no babies running around. All kids school age, he noticed that right away.

I am at the moment doing an on line check of the daycare provider, she is licensed by our state. And they are providing me with a back ground check on her free of charge.

She assured me that she never closes, and when she is not there her mother who is in her 60's is also licensed and is there with the kids.

Thanks for being there and understanding my worst fear here...I hate having to worry about this.

aspenblue1 replied: Hopefully everything will work out. I know with my babysitter she only closes 1 time a year her vacation and we do not pay her while she is on vacation.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I'm glad you found something else that looks good! I would have been so mad at that woman for suggesting I take $10 off! She could have at least called you at work and said she'd be there after all!

5littleladies replied: That's awesome that you have found something new so quicky! I hope it works out for you. That other lady deserves what she gets.

A&A'smommy replied: AWESOME I'm glad you got this worked out I know that other lady was really making life difficult for you which is REALLY stupid! I hope this other lady turns out to be really great!

loveydad replied: good! i'm glad you found a good place! Sounds like he'll adore it.

Boys r us replied: Sounds like this sitter you're looking into now will work out better for both you and Tanner!

ammommy replied: That sounds like a great place for Tanner Since she is recommended by the school, she is probably reliable, too.
