I dunno

The kid bit the provider (a total stranger) the very first day she met her and bit another kid the very first time she mixed her in with the other kids?

I gotta feeling this kid is a biter and the Mom didn't tell the provider the whole truth before she interviewed. Having a kid feel comfortable enough to bite a total stranger adult gives me the idea that this is a PROBLEM with this family.

I would ask the mom point blank if the child has a history of biting... if she has been booted out of day care for it... and if she has even bit anyone on the face.

The kid may need her own adult and her own space every day to keep everyone safe. The parents need to be clear and look for the RIGHT care situation.
