I am a daycare provider & I have a parent that is emotionally chaotic and all over the place. In the last couple of weeks she had been coming in to pick up herself child in a really bad mood and angry. I made an attempt to talk to her and see f she was okay or if she had anything to tell me because she seemed to be angry with me or someone here. She said no and acted “offended” by my attempt to check in with her.

She has been trying to pick fights with me as well as with other parents.when I address it with her she always acts like it’s all in everyone else’s head. I tend to be a little bit of a doormat but she has been really stressing me out & I want to give her a two week notice to take her child elsewhere. I’m afraid as to how to approach it because she does seem emotionally unstable and also because she has told me that she has reported someone to CPS just because they upset her.

Is there an “appropriate” protocol for me to follow when giving notice?

I’m in California.

Thanks.
