parents beware re: Special Education babysitting

Description

Hello, I am a parent of a special needs child and responded to an ad offering special needs babysitting. It was for babysitting occasionally but also noted the person may be able to take on "regular care" for 3-5 hours. I explained my situation and provided a little information about my child's ability and needs. She responded with that she could do evenings and weekends. So I asked if she could do 9-2 on Saturdays("I'm flexible"). She then responded with that she just got a new job and that she can't do full days on Saturday. Then "If you'd like to discuss occasional care let me know. Maybe a weeknight or an occasional weekend.​" I responded that my daughter like many special needs kids need structure and reliability. I suggested she take out that she may do regular care 3-5 hours(that is exactly what I need!) since she doesn't actually offer it. She lost her mind!! She verbally assaulted me with nasty words and constant emails of just negative nasty words. This person should NOT be anywhere near children! The title to her ad was Special Education babysitting and mentions having a masters degree in Special education.
