I have had a bad experience with... Parent: Chrisi B. - i found out she was previously in prison, and that she leaves her young children at home alone.- she also paid with 3 hot checks. and then threatened afterwards. she has two boys. we are in northwest austin.

I just want to let parents know about the kid connection in Round Rock. They are the daycare that has been on the news. DO NOT GO THERE. My child was there for a little while and it was horrible. The center is now on probation. Look at there violations before you consider going there, or anywhere else. http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/child_care/search_texas_child_care/

I had a bad experience with....J.V. I had a contract with her which she agreed to. I had memorial day off because, it was a paid holiday according to my contract, my contract also states, not to incomvienace me about complainint about my off days, it just isn't nice. especailly is you agreed to it, and signed a contract to this fact. well this parent calls me and tells me I am working her day off because I owe her a day for taking my paid holiday. so, I stand up to her and tell her no absolutely not, so she goes behind my back to another provider who I have networked with for years. this provider and I have always agreed that when parents do this it is wrong, and we will always protect each other and keep each other informed. now this provider L.P. knows what this lady did to me, and still took her in because she was in dire need of cash, so she took a long time friendship, and threw it away. this parent did not give me proper notice, and breeched her contact. i understand that the parent has the right to put their child anywhere they want, but if a provider does nothing wrong, that parent is responsible to give a proper notice and make payment..For another provider to think this is okay to accept the parent, when it is their friend this parent is screwing over, and then say deal wit it you lost her she came to me..i just don't understand her thinking, it is all about the money for her, friendship, and business ethnics flew out the window, and what is so sad, is she let this woman break up a friendship, fior what $200. and then this parent will just move on again in a couple of weeks, i am about the 4th person so far to stand up to her, and she did the same thing to them the last 3 were nannies..

I have had a bad experience with....Jennifer P. (she has a three year old son). I was her child care provider for almost two months. One day she shows up late to drop off her son (over an hour late--with no attempt to call me--she has a cell phone and didn't bother to call me until she was at my front door.). As by my rules if your child is an hour late with no attempt to contact me you lose that day of child care. So when I enforced my rule she got upset and took her child out of my care. She also has a bad habit of bad mouthing her ex-husband (which she did a number of times in front of her child). If you work for her just know that should you at any time need to enforce a rule she will fight it.

I have had a bad experience with a parent by the name of Christi B. She has two boys and also tried to pay me with bad checks. She too threatend me when I confronted her. I had heard of her criminal past, maritial infidelity and neglect of her sons. I just wanted her out of my life. I am glad she is! Don't mess with her!

I have had a bad experience with Beaver Brook on Jolly Ville. My daughter had 104 fever and was ignored by the teahcers. When I walked in I observed a teacher physically shuve her away and tell her to "leave me alone." All my 2 year old wanted was for the teacher to hold her because she was so sick. The teacher did not even realize that she was ill! With in the same time fram another child deficated on the play ground and the teachers were obliviouse to what had happened. The children (3 of them) played in the poo and now 2 children have been tested for Heptitus and now have to be tested for HIV for 2 years! all because 2 teachers were obliviouse to what the children were doing on the play ground. This was reported to the state and because the teachers in question were fired before the inspection the center was not repremanded. However, the teachers have now been rehired! Beware Beaver Brook!

I have had a bad experience with......Just to let parents know...there is a bad women who works at ABC Childcare; I'm not sure the name of the place but I am positive it is ABC something in north austin. She lives in the same apartments I do and she has repeatedly threatened to kill a 15 year old pregnant girl and her baby. Her kids run around wild with no supervision. One day she had her window down in a van and her son had his feet standing on the window with the rest of his body outside the van as she threatened this pregnant girl. If she can't control her own kids or her temper,she has no right to care for other children. Just thought I'd share.

I have had a bad experience with....Anjelina, my 3 children were in her cae for only a total of 2.5 days and already had issues. though my story is not as bad as others listed, I still had concern for the safety and health of my children. Of course this was still the trial period, so I would ask my children she same questions everyday at pickup: 1. did you have fun? 2. Were they nice to you?3. did brother (7 weeks old) cry alot? My daughter knows nothing of right or wrong of bottle propping as she has never heard of or seen that before. Also, I arrived one morning, the morning I was going to question this, I stood outside of her house for 20 minutes calling, knocking(banging) on the door and the window. At first I thought something was terribly wrong in the hou!se. I concluded maybe she wasn't there. She later told me she was there but she was so tired from an early morning errand she did not hear the door or the phone for the 20 minutes I was out there. This concerns me that if she could not hear all of that noise, how could she be alert to care for my children. Also, she had a cat which she never told me about in the first place who roamed freely. I decided to end services w/this provider because I did not feel secure with this many incidents and carelessness and poor decision making in such a short period of time. I have demanded back my last week I paid in advance because I feel she broke the contract by her actions, I do not recieve calls back, when I finally do speak to her, I catch attitude. Thank you and continue to post these alerts.

I have had a bad experience with....Katherine K. She has a 15 month old son who she tried to drop off 2 times even though he had active diarrhea and yellow and green mucus. He had diarrhea for 10 days total before I had to finally terminate childcare because she wouldn't stop trying to drop her sick child off for care.. My contract clearly states that no child can attend with active diarrhea. The first time she dropped him off she knew he had diarrhea all weekend and failed to tell me. The second time she dropped him off again knowing he had diarrhea all weekend long. Just wanted to give a warning. These parents need to respect that we have theses policies for a reason. It is State Policy that no child with active diarrhea attend daycare, school or any social setting.

I have had a bad experience with.....Amanda or Mary A. She lives off of 183 and Manor Dr. She threatened to come after me and called my ONE year old daughter a "brat" because I decided not to go with her childcare program. She then proceeded to say, "shit lady i was just trying to help you out". She is very rude and very uneducated.
