I had a great summer and now I have some new kids starting for September! I have a 1-year-old full-time, and 3 before/after school kids. I've never done before/after care before, so this is a change for me! They are all boys, plus I have my own son, so it's going to be a house full of energy that's for sure! I am looking forward to it though.
Anyone else have new kids starting this month?
Started a new one year old - 2 days last week then fulltime starting today. He is sitting on my lap screaming while I type with one hand. Have another one year old starting mid-october. One more space to fill.
Oh, play felt, good news on filling up, bad news on the screaming. My new little guy finally stopped crying all day after 2 weeks. Today at drop off he didn't even shed one tear. Wishing you a speedy transition.
I started a new one about 3 weeks ago. He's currently upstair screaming in his playpen. LOL And another 3 year old who's sitting at the table ignoring his snack and looking at me like I'm from another world. LOL It's funny watching the new ones adjust to new situations.
My new baby was supposed to arrive at 9am for their first day and it is now 9:35. Hmmmmmm, not a good start. I hope they arive soon with a good explanation. Good luck with your newbies everyone.
My one year old dcb is asleep, and the 3.5 year old dcg is playing happily with my 3.5 year old granddaughter. So far so good.. not sure why I was so nervous last night I could hardly sleep LOL
My two year old that started end of July, and who is leaving, his parents were 1.5 hours late on their first day. I guess they just thought it wasn't important. I set them straight immediately lolQuote:

I've also thought about doing some before and after school care. I thought that if I had two of those, I could forfeit one full timer, making my days a little less hectic. But I wouldn't be able to pick them up from school, the bus would have to bring them here, so we'll see how that goes.
I need 1 fulltime, send me some prayers and positive thoughts!!!!!!!!!:ye s::yes::yes:
Good for you LittleDragon. We have to make sure the parents know our rules from Day One. My new baby fell asleep at 5 to 9 and the Mom woke him at 9:30 to get him here as soon as she could, so all is forgiven here, haha. He's only here this one day this week and since his Mom left I have to hold him or he screams. It's already been a long day and it's only been less than 2 hours! Transitioning newbies sux!Quote:

I interviewed a 2yr old girl last week.....lets see!
I have a new 2 yrs old that started today full time and he is doing wonderful!!! Walked right in, no tears, played well, ate well and went right to sleep! Hope this heavenly transition continues!!
Oh, those are my favourites! It's only happened to me once with a 1 year old and once with a 2 year old this summer that they were happy from the first day. Enjoy and congrats!Quote:

The other one that just came back has been on the verge of tears most of yesterday and still today the same - I think he's missing his older sibling who used to come here and is now in school f/t.
I needed to check out the site to stop myself from tears and banging my head against the wall as this is so frustrating! All 3 are about 1 1/2 and no one talks to me all day so to add tears and crying to that is the icing on the cake that I just can't take...
