[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think she's a decent carer and you have to go back to work, [b]take the position with the nice lady and keep looking. This is how many of us do it. Providers are used to people moving on[/b].

I remember how stressful this time was - I had nothing three weeks before I had to go back to work. I found a nice in home lady who was able to take my son until a spot opened up at a center four months later.

Have you looked in the area where you work as well as where you live? That could open up a few more possibilities.[/quote]

No, providers are not used to people moving on, not in that sense. yes, they outgrow the childcare home, or parents move or the situation is no longer a fit. but the provider is counting on the pay (yes, aside from being loving to the children and caring for them the way parents would like them to, etc) it IS her paycheck and the way she pays her bills and helps to support her family. She may have turned other families down in order to take a child in, and to just go in there temporarily without at least some type of warning, only to swoop your child out for something better, that is downright inconsiderate

I have transported children in the past to preschool and it really isnt that big of a deal. The children become accustomed to it and enjoy the outings. We would use this time to make side trips to a park, library, nature center etc with the kids. It is more important how this person relates to your baby and cares for your baby over the issue in the car.[/quote]
