I have only a few red flags:

The fee range for home daycare around here is $30-$45 per day. I charge $30/day and so if they say during the interview anything that suggests that they might not be able to pay my fee then I don't go ahead (ex. "I think I can swing the $30). I don't need the headache.

Badmouthing previous providers in any way.

Discussion of limiting naptime for a child under 3yo. Nope, not sleep depriving your infant/toddler. And I don't want to hear you whine about your child's crappy nighttime sleep habits and passive-aggressively blaming me for it.
