Yikes. I think I need to up my game. In the last 10 years, I've hired five providers and spent around $3,000. When I feel I've earned a reward for my good deeds, and have the funds, I hire. I've had a mixed bag of good and poor providers.

While I have never hired overnight, I've thought about it. I agree ... I would rather have good communication and expectations so there isn't disappointment.

I, too, haven't experienced any trouble like the op describes.

That's exactly why I use this forum! I'm still a bit of a newb at this, so I use feedback from others as a guidepost when looking to hire. I met with CharmingboyNash this week. He's the 5th provider I've hired, and by far, he's the best provider I've ever experienced. Not only was he charming, adorable, and a complete twunk, he actually delivered what he promised. He's simply an awesome guy and I will be a repeat client of his whenever the opportunity arises.
