[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't be comfortable with having my child in your car, not ever. But in a stroller for long walks? Sure! And family childcare providers have a system for managing multiple children at once (just like toddler teachers in a childcare center do), but yes, you will go to the bathroom and therefore the children will be unattended for those couple of minutes. That's what happens at home with a SAH parent who has 1 or more children, too. So you'd put the baby in the playpen/pack and play, take the 18 month old in with you (because toddlers WILL get into trouble) and the 2 and 3 yr olds are fine for a few minutes reading books, coloring at the low kids' table, playing with duplos/puzzles/whatever on the floor.... you're not taking a shower or a bath for heavens sake! But not everyone is comfortable with only one provider, but I think there are more who would be if they are truly looking for family childcare. And with your background, once I meet you? Sure![/quote]
