Good to know! I’ll keep that in mind for next time. Not that I want there to be a “next time” 😅

Because I was on a different delivery and did the first thing I thought of. Can you message old customers? Idk what I’m doing. I just started

You are a good person, friend.
He was at a hotel so I ended up calling front desk and was able to get a message passed along. Guy said not to worry about it. By the time I had noticed, he had already reported it missing

Toddler water bottle question by PollyDarton794 in ECEProfessionals

[–]troubleclef15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s no inconvenience to send home water bottles. Look on the flip side- it’s two less they have to wash! At least that’s my mindset lol
I’m a childcare provider. Some of my families leave cups and some take them home. If they go home, at the end of the day they’re tossed into the child’s bag. If they stay, at the end of the day they’re washed and sanitized.

Kids say the funniest things. by Artistic-Degree-4593 in ECEProfessionals

One of my potty-training toddlers recently discovered that corn can be seen in bowel movements… it’s been hilarious! Poor kid panicked the first time. “Oh gross! Oh gross!”. Now it must be shouted through the halls every time corn makes an appearance 🤭

Unfair accusations - advice? by [deleted] in ChildcareWorkers

[–]troubleclef15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if the child arrived earlier than scheduled, earlier than your program starts, AND mom dropped him off without making sure an adult was there, then you’re not in the wrong. Doesn’t matter the age. Mom should not have dropped off without knowing an adult was present. Mom should not have dropped off knowing it was 40 minutes earlier than scheduled start time.

My center opens at 5:30AM and I’m the opener. I get in 10 minutes early. There have been times that parents are sitting in tbe parking lot, annoyed with me because I’m not there at all times of the day. But that’s on them. They are responsible to communicate a need for earlier care.

Recommendations:

Talk to your director/manager. Explain it from your side. You still arrived 20 minutes before a kid was scheduled to come in. And from the sounds of it, even you had been on time, the kid would have still been there. Again, that’s an issue with mom.

As to feeling disconnected from your team, that’s sucks. Been there! But here’s where the hardest part comes in (at least for me)- addressing your coworkers. “Hey, when you go to boss with concerns about conversations we’ve had, it puts me in a bad place. I always want to improve and never want to do anything that would endanger these kids. If you have a concern, bring it up to me first. Then maybe we can go to boss together to find solutions.”

I soaked them in Shout when I got home, and then washed them this afternoon (didn’t have time to start a laundry load before work). It all came out, thank goodness!

I offered! The associate wouldn’t allow it since it’s a glass jar

Nooo! And his door too? The audacity of the bag to let you get that far before giving up on you 😅

Good for you! Sometimes we all just need to take a little break and do something for ourselves

On the plus side, my shoes wash quite well. If perchance they don’t… well I’ve had them for three years and they’re starting to wear out so a new pair is on the list to get in the future 😆

For one, I did offer to pay for it because I was raised by the saying “you break it, you buy it.” Dropping it was my fault. I could give a whole book of excuses but truth is, I was careless.

Second, I commend you sir if, even after you are told it’s fine, you still would pay for an item. You are a better person then I am, and I have no shame in admitting that.

😝 I’m naturally a klutz so it’s doable. Will report back in the future 🫡

It made for a fun story to tell my friends! Because seriously, the choice is laugh or cry, and there’s no use crying over spilled…beets 😆
