As a babysitter for 7 years, I ALWAYS had an open door policy. Parents were able to come into building on their own, and only knocked on my apartment door, where they would have been able to hear every sound. Parents knew to come in quietly so as not to disturb other sleeping babies, but were always let in within a few seconds of knocking, unless I was changing a diaper.
Later, as a 2 year old Morah for another few years, I had the same system, but I did request parents do not enter during the day, because that would cause many other toddlers to start crying for their mothers, thinking it was time for dismissal and "why isn't my mommy here too?!"
But they always had permission to enter if they wanted to. I totally understood them for wanting to, especially earlier in the year, until they were fully comfortable with my place.
Additionally, often a mother picking up early or dropping off late would start shmoozing, asking about the child's day, etc., and it was very distracting. I ended up at one poing messaging parents and telling them so, and saying that any off schedule pickup would have to happen without any conversation. they were welcome to call or text me any questions after hours or during nap hour, when I could repsond.

I'm just thinking, maybe their house is a flying mess and they're embarrassed that ppl should see it.. |
No. Not an excuse. You have a business you need to be prepared for people to come in.
Parents should not be told they can never enter. That is so messed up and very worrisome.
Especially when this is a babysitter for a baby who can’t talk and let you know what is going on there. Or a child who is too young to be able to communicate effectively.

There is someone in lakewood who runs a daycare in her house (her and 3 Mexican ladies for around 70 kids) and has that rule, and I cannot understand how people send there. Its super worrisome

There is a huge difference between:
1) a hyper regulated environment vs a persons house
2) children who can somewhat advocate for themselves vs babies with non developed communication skills

The poster was anonymous, I don't know why your assuming that she was me. And I don't understand why you assume that this is the same babysitter. There are unfortunately multiple babysitters like that in lakewood.
