QUINLAN, ANNE M (191747) - by ,April 1, 20170 /5 stars
I am a working mother of two young boys (ages 3 and 9 months), and as such, I find myself in the position of needing a daycare provider to watch my little guys when I cannot. Anne Quinlan had been watching my eldest child for about a year when I became pregnant with my second. Having had no issues during that first year, I was comfortable knowing that she would be available to watch both of my boys once my maternity leave ended. However, within one week of my boys being under her care, red flags started popping up immediately. These concerns were triggered by the following: Anne speaking negatively about my 3 year old, to me, but in front of him. She would attempt to shame him for wearing Pull-Ups, making remarks about how “messy” and “disgusting” he was, simply for going to the bathroom. After telling me to “put him back in diapers,” whereupon I replied that I would not be doing that, she stated, “Well then I’m going to go out and buy some for him myself.” I was appalled that she would be planning on going against what I, as the parent, had instructed her to not do. (Also, let it be known that Anne was well aware that my son was not yet potty trained. We had discussed it at length months prior to him returning, and she never had any issue with this. Furthermore, Anne also refuses to assist with any potty training at her house.) She made a random comment one morning about how she was having my then 7-month-old “sleep in the basement by himself because he was too noisy for the other children while they were napping.” This comment horrified me, and this is what prompted me to start looking for other daycare providers. Anne texted me to tell me that my then 7-month old had “spit up twice” in the pack-and-play. Later that night, when I had to rush my child to the ER, I realized that he had not spit up, but rather projectile vomited multiple times. She never once informed me of this, and we were put in a position where we ended up being concerned about dehydration. After four days at home recovering, she later told me how “all of her children all had really bad stomach flus or coughs.” Had she alerted us (the moms) to this ahead of time, we may have made other daycare arrangements. Anne also said that the other 2 babies who she was caring for also fell ill that week with the same stomach flu that my son contracted. The last issue (all within a 2 week span) that really broke my heart, was when my son came home and started sobbing while having (for lack of a better word) an accident on the floor. I say “for lack of a better word” because this was not a potty accident--it was truly neglect. Anne was not monitoring him while he was changing his pull-up. When I took his coat off, I saw that his privates were completely exposed, his shirt was half tucked into the pull-up itself, and the actual pull-up was rolled down in random spots. My poor child was crying while asking me “What are you feeling,” terrified that I was upset with him for peeing on the floor, when it was completely out of his control. When I asked Anne about this the next day, she scolded my child and told him how this was his fault, and that he should have told her he was uncomfortable. When I cut her off and reminded her that he is three, she started to yell at me and make derogatory remarks to me and about me. While these are the main, and most recent, issues that arose, there are other concerns to be aware of: She fed my son, who had a dairy intolerance, cheese pizza for lunch and didn’t tell me about it until pickup that day (4 hours later). I spent the next 24 hours terrified that he would wind up in the hospital. She has left her daughter in charge of the children with, typically, last-minute notice (we wouldn’t find out about this until we were dropping the children off in the morning). On one such occasion, she left her daughter in charge so she could “pick up a motorcycle in Wisconsin.” Typically, whenever her daughter was left in charge, my child’s diapers would not be changed. One two occasions, he came home (4:30 PM) in the same diaper that he had on when I dropped him off at 7:30 AM (I know this because the type of diaper we use at home is different than the ones we provided Anne with). During the 2016-2017 school year, three individuals (myself included) that signed up to have her watch their children, left. This should truly speak to the fact that this is not just me realizing that Anne is no longer fit to watch children; multiple individuals have noticed it. After leaving her facility, despite what her contract says, Anne, to this day, refuses to give me back the original paperwork for both of my boys that I submitted to her when she started watching them. For unknown reasons, she refuses to give me back their medical records...it clearly seems as though she is being vindictive, as there is no reason for her to keep these papers. It honestly makes me a bit uncomfortable knowing that she is still in possession of private information on my boys. I cannot pinpoint why the change in the quality of Anne’s care occurred, but what I do know is that for that month that my babies were under her care during the winter of 2017, I went to work sick, wondering what she was doing with/to them. While they never came home with signs of physical abuse, the fact that my youngest was “napping in the basement,” coupled with the horrible remarks she made about my oldest in front of him while I was present, absolutely horrified me. If she could shame a child in front of his mother, what was she saying/doing to him when I wasn’t present? I am so incredibly mortified and embarrassed for ever having recommended her to anyone. The only silver-lining to this situation is that I was able to find a wonderful daycare facility to send my boys, where they leave each morning excited to go to “school,” and come home clean, happy, and safe. There are so many wonderful, qualified, caring daycare providers in Northbrook and the surrounding suburbs. I truly hope that if you were considering using Anne Quinlan to watch over your children, that you will reconsider.
