I am going to visit someone who runs daycare out of their home. I just found out, when i called to make an appointment with them, that they live in one of the worse neighborhoods around this area. but the woman was very nice and willing to work with me and my schedule. how can i tell her that i dont feel comfortable with her watching my child because of the neighborhood she lives in.

I would lie and tell her that at the last minute you had a friend offer to watch your child and you thought that would be best.

Why would you be worried about the neighborhood she lives in ? Does she let the children run around unsupervised outside ??? I'm sure she has appropriate security features.(These are required by law if she is state licensed.)
If I was lucky enough to find someone affordable who was willing to work with you and your schedule, it wouldn't matter
where they lived, as long as they took the proper precautions to see to the safety of the children.
I've lived in some pretty bad neighborhoods myself just because of my financial situation and have never heard of a day care center being victimised.
There was one center in an upscale Dallas neighborhood that had a 14 year old drive a car through it while he was out joyriding. 4 children were killed. Stuff like that can happen anywhere.
Don't be so quick to judge.
But, if by chance, that lady lives in Arkansas....please email me her number.

ok...so all you do is not show up for the appointment. If you want to call them to cancel just be honest - you are the parent and there is nothing wrong with you rejecting someone if you feel it's unsafe for your children.
I had to take my son out of a lady that held daycare in her home too. But my boy had already started attending - he just cried there every day and when I took him out she asked me why and I was honest. That's all it takes. Good luck.

You probably don't need to tell her how you feel about the neighborhood. Just nicely explain that you are looking into several childcare options at the moment and will let her know if you decide to choose her. Mentioning her neighborhood might hurt her feelings for no reason.

well you havn't commited to anything yet you are just going for an appointment to look at the place.
just go for the appointment. and say you will call and let her know, but that you are kind of still looking around at other places.
Then just don't call her back if she calls you tell her thanks for calling you back and that you appreciate her time but that you found a place for your baby to go, maybe closer to home, or that your mom is going to watch her instead or just say you found a place for her already and leave it at that.
i ran a daycare for about3 years and people would come look and i would never hear from them again, it didn't bug me i just moved on to the next.
so don't worry about hurting her feelings, its not like your family or friends so you do what is best for your baby!!

I would tell her. "I'm sorry, but I'm not comfortable with my son being in your particular neighborhood." If she says anything, just let her know that it's a personal preference. Maybe she'll understand and move into a better neighborhood.

Id first drive by the house if the neighborhood is safe enough to drive thru - sadly some arent. Not sure which community you are in so worst can mean different things in different areas.

Exactly the way you just put it, it's because of the neighborhood, not because of her. But tell her as soon as you can so she can look for another child to watch.

You don't have to give her a reason. What's more important to you--the safety of your child or hurting a stranger's feelings? If you insist on telling her something, just lie to her and tell her an opening has come up at a center that's much more conveniently located to your home, and you apologize for inconveniencing her.
