I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This lady doesn’t care about your child! She will leave during the day to go do “errands” such as hair cut,grocery shopping, nails etc and leave all the kids with an unqualified person and ask the parents not to say anything. Her husband has sexual harassed and assaulted women more than 2 times and has lost his job over it twice but still lives in the same house your kids stay in while your at work. She will take on 8-10 kids when she knows she isn't suppose to and ask you not to say anything. Your kid gets hurt bad enough on their property to need medical services and you get asked "can we not put this under the insurance for my business?" She is not a good provider at all! Please hear my warnings and don’t waste your time with this place. She doesn’t better children at all.
