Porse carer leaves baby alone :(

I know that our carer doesn't get to go to the toliet by herself, the kids follow her, the same as they follow me when I'm home...lol
Our carer takes the kids to kindy so on some days she has time free, 3 of the kids are at kindy and my youngest naps, I expect she makes phone calls etc during that time. They would plan their days the same as SAHM's do.

I know if my child was in HBC and her carer spent all day talking on the phone I would not be happy after all I am paying them to look after my child.

there are certain things I do at home that I could not do if I was a homebased carer..eg be on my computer playing farmtown lol (computer is in the lounge) or let my daughter play outside without me or take a shower while my 2 play in the lounge.

so while I would expect normal activities such was baking hanging out washing to be carried out while children are in care i would kind of expect them to supervise my child more so than I would..eg if my child was outside I would expect the carer to be able to see them at all times.

I read in the hearlad that this lady did lose her job immediately and Porse was appauled by her behaviour. I find it interesting that In-Home child care is getting slammed in many of the posts on here and that daycares are safer I can assure you they are not. This appauling situation that happened by one womans absurd actions has resulted in a lot of talk about all types of daycare. I have heard so many horror storied from woman who have had terrible daycare experiences so to be honest daycares arent the safer option, just because they dont make headlines it doesnt mean they dont happen. Here are some examples A daycare went on a picnic accidently leaving a toddler in a daycare building for the day the mother went to the picnic to pick her child up and they couldnt find him they had left him at the daycare the whole time didnt even notice he wasnt with them as they have so many children. My friends baby was in care for 9 hours didnt get a single bottle he was still on 4 hourly feeds they said he wouldnt take it turns out they had heated it up but not bothered to take the cap off under the teat so he was screaming cos no milk was coming out, which would make one assume they clearly didnt test the milks temp before trying to give it to the child. Another child I know was screaming when his mother showed to pick him up the daycare responded he was in trouble for climbimng on pots they told him not to but he continued so when he fell they didnt cuddle him they said we told you not to climb on there and he went into a so called tantrum turned out his "tantrum" was that he had broken ribs along with shoulder injuries, they didnt even check him for injuries when he fell instead they were trying to prove a point to the child he was in pain for hours. my point is you cant guarantee good educators in general you have to go by your gut instinct interview the careers youll find there are amazing ones with in- home childcare and from what I have noticed theu lookin into allt he agencies Porse is by far the best they are very strict and have really high standards as an agency noone should let one ladies stupidity put them off interviewing educators thru Porse.

Both daycare and in home carers have there issues, there is no denying that. having worked in the Early childhood sector for 12 years in both home based and centre based i would say: Do your research and don't listen to a few horror stories. But in my opinion and when asked by others, as a whole day care is 100 times safter. Trust your gut always

Agree and hopefully any parent with a brain would do their research, visit a few centres and carers and pick one that suits their family well... If something doesn't feel right then chances are it isn't.
