[quote=Anonymous]I’m currently taking a break from hosting because the added mental load of hosting was really taking a toll on me. I’m a SAHM that has had AP’s because I like the flexibility - some days I need morning care, some days I need evening care - but never the same schedule 2 weeks in a row. I was thinking of starting to look for another AP because cobbling together care hasn’t been super easy even paying sitters $30/hr. But the new schedule rules make my break permanent, I guess. I do acknowledge the stipend paid to the AP’s is low, but like others have said, with agency fees and all of the extras, we were spending around $50k all in. The new rules also change the nature of the relationship to to be more transactional than relational. I don’t want that dynamic in my home, so another reason to be out.[/quote]
