I have used this provider for less than 6 months

worst place ever. This woman would let my 6 month old WHOS teething scream and wouldn’t get her burps out. As when I got the baby she would release them all. She was giving my child 10oz of milk at 5 months after I told her To give her 5oz because my baby was Ill every time she got home. She acted like this was a favor and like she wasn’t charging me 170$ for 3 days a week!! Don’t take your babies here. Then she claimed she did so because I’m a young mom and I don’t know what I’m talking about.
