I COULD NOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE. Yep, it was getting so bad with the lingering parents here that my own kids were questioning why it took so long for them to leave.

My solution was simple. All the kids I look after act up a bit at pick ups. I took that opportunity to implement Nannyde's bye bye outside. Parents text me when they get here. I get child ready, open the door and pass the child off. Always smiling as to not make it harsh or anything. I then text a brief run down of their child's day which in my opinion, is WAY better than having a parent hang out and annoy the heck out of me.

Even if your dck is good at pick up. You could just say to the parent that you need to do a bye bye outside because you have a busy evening schedule.
