How It Works

I am a state licensed child care provider in Utah. I did child care for three years before taking eight months off to obtain my bachelors. Getting back into things has been really difficult, especially with the economy. Parents seem to have less respect for child care providers and their pockets when they are hurting for money themselves. I thought I would start a blog for providers to discuss clients that have been disrespectful. If this gets really big, I will adjust my site and try to make it more user friendly. I just wanted to give it a try.

Please only state the facts. Parents can be really malicious and do some pretty distasteful things, but let's not stoop to their level. Just let other people know what they need to watch out for. Also, feel free to post comments about great clients and what you like.

If for any reason there is a comment posted that is not entirely true, the other party is welcome to contact me to explain the situation. datenightllc@gmail.com

Thanks! I hope this helps some hard working women avoid heartache at the expense of disrespectful parents.

P.S. In order to be fair, parents are more than welcome to post comments on their providers. Use the same rules as providers and only state the truth.

Parents in Need

Here is a great place for parents to post their needs.

Post your child(ren)s age, your days and hours needed, and the locations you are willing to go to. Go ahead and put any other pertinent information, especially a way contact you.

I have also provided links for different agencies that can help fulfill your needs (in the right side column under "Helpful Links"). These links will only put you in touch with LICENSED providers. It is difficult to obtain and maintain a license, so it is important for parents to be selective and only use licensed providers.

Email datenightllc@gmail.com when your needs are fulfilled and I will delete your request.

    Hi my name is Melissa and I have 2 little girls that need tending. They are 2 years and 7 months old. I work nights and my husband is in management and works days. I have to leave for work shortly before he gets home so I need someone who can come to my home Tuesdays thru Saturdays. On Tuesdays thru Fridays I would need someone to come to my home at 6pm and Saturdays at 5 pm. You may be in my home for 15 minutes or maybe 2 hours, it just depends on how long it takes for my husband to get out of work. I am willing to pay $15 per day. Please call me if you think this may work out! Melissa 801-509-1254

    Don't forget, when looking for child care, to contact your local child care resource & referral agency. They can give you a list of all providers in your area who currently have openings!
