well I have to hand it to Nannyde,.. I havent recieved 100 percent on every inspection,... I must admit,..
in the last 21 years, Ive had normally a right up every year, the latest was my water temp,.. 121 degrees, instead of 120. before that,.. I had perfume on the top shelf of my medicine cabinet, and ivory bar soap in my tub,.. I got busted for having cleaning supplies out.
I also have been cited for not having a tb test for my husband last year, he had spinal surgery done 3 weeks prior to the date the previous test expired, the inspection took place 3 1/2 weeks from his surgery. NO I was NOT going to make him go to the health dept, get a tb test, walk, drive, or otherwise injur himself for a silly test,.. he had it the day after his 6 week well surgery visit. All is good. I also didnt have a physical on file, drug test on file, or tb test on file for my son who lives AT COLLEGE, not in the home. However, since he has an address here, I should have gotten that anyway. I did, 2 days after the surprise inspection. I have been cited for silly things I feel,... like, not requiring the parents to show me birth certificates,... For all but one of the kids Ive had in the last 12 years, I have visited in the hospital,.. I know who they are, who their parents are, and that they arent kidnapped, brought to another state and being passed off as someone else. I also was late on my fingerprints because the lady at city hall didnt know how to do them and it took submitting 3 sets, 3 weeks apart to get a good set. Thus making them late for my inspector to get the results prior to my surprise visit.
all in all though, I put my hands together for Nannyde,.. I couldnt possibly get 100 %. Ive tried, and even when I think Ive gotten it,.. nope. They find something.

OMG, I have one for 11 years, one for 7, one for 6, sib of the 7 yr old who is now 2.5, another 2.5 and his sib both from babies.... and the list goes on. I started 16 yrs ago and my very first girl was 10 mos and stayed till age 9, another girl stayed from 7 mos till age 7 and still comes occasionally with her two sibs. I have long-term clients galore. And every one of them has had their moments of being in a bad mood and acting out. I correct it over time, and it goes away. Their parents are amazed how well-behaved they are for me. But I let them be human and have their little hiccups. It's a part of normal development.
"They have access to not one but two unnanounced State Inspections where I received 100 percent compliance both times. They are copied and given to them at the first interview. That's an amazing gift to them and the smart ones recognize how unique it is to find care where the provider meets five hundred plus points of compliance on any given day unnanounced TWICE".
I've passed every inspection (two a year) with flying colors for 16 years, thank you.
Ok, 3 posts in a row, sorry!!!!
