[quote=Anonymous]Yikes. In Fairfax County it's 1:4 for infants, then increases gradually until it goes to 1:8 when they are around 3 years old. In Arlington county, infant ratio is stricter at 1:3. In your case, unless you can't afford say $1100 a month for a real licensed or permitted inhome daycare, I would not take this route. I'm a mom of a baby and a preschooler. Babies are easier because they sleep a lot but even watching 3 babies who are not yet mobile is no joke. If a mix of infants and toddlers my bet is that she would spend more time attending to the toddlers because they can't yet play by themselves too long. Babies are easy to ignore or stick in a swing or jumperoo. You don't want that. [/quote]
