I put an add on craigslist for another child to babysit. I am licensed and I used to be a CPS worker and the mother who responded knows this. I personally, even knowing this, would have to meet the provider and see the environment my child would be in. SO anyway this lady...her kids are 2 and 4 and I guess shes in a predicament and is goign through a divorce and new in town and wants me to start watching her kids on Monday. I emailed her back and asked if she'd be available to meet this weekend. We'll see if she is.
My question is would you leave you child with someone you had never met? I would not under any circumstances (my son has been watched by my mother and mil only, he's 9 months). My husband does not hink it's odd and says I'm too uptight and overprotective.
Should I be leary of this woman's parenting or given her circumstances is this acceptable?
