[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be against solo providers. It's not even a good idea with a back up person to care for the children if you are sick because that new person has never been around the kids. That seems like a disaster for everyone. I also don't like the idea of your child being there. It's favoritism. Two infants crying, of course you will care for yours first. 4 kids in your care by yourself also seems like a lot. I thought it was only supposed to be three kids total, including your child? [/quote]

I think it is very unfair to accuse someone of favoring their child. I have done daycare for years and had both my own children and grandchildren in care and I didnt play any favoritism. If there was an issue with my child, I handled it the same I would handle the daycare child. Redirecting, appropriate time out (county states 1 minute per year of childs age), etc. My children learned how to take turns with the others, same with manners, etc.

As for caring for 4, in the county I live in, I can singly care for up to 5 children. I have never had a problem with caring for that number, it is what i felt comfortable with. We did outings, going to the library, parks, museums, the zoo, spraypark, pools, etc. Thankfully I had understanding and accepting parents who trusted me wholeheartedly. Sad that isnt out there anymore.[/quote]
