You guys please be mindful of your kids attending this child care if your baby cries which is a natural response for kids please make sure you know exactly who you’re leaving your children around at all times to talk about my 1 year old daughter over a man that goes to her home pulling out firearms and being violent is a major safety concern for any kid and she is a drunk !
this is a response in regards to a concern of how miyasha cares for “crying” or “hollering” babies under her care since it was so easy for her to mention that about my 1 year old repeatedly over and over !
