Just wanted to give you all an update in case you were wondering...
My second day of care with them went really good. I'm still not even sure why my first day was so brutal. I talked to the parents at the end of the first week and told them that I wasn't sure if I would be able to continue with them. So now it's been a month since I've been caring for them and things are fine. I told the parents that in NO WAY can I care for their kids if they are sick. A little cold is fine but nothing more. I do really like the parents and that was one of the reasons I was feeling horrible about letting them go. They are very easy going and go with whatever I say and that's not always the case. So after talking it over with them we've all come up with a great ending that I love! I have them on Mondays, (the 4 year old only in the afternoon), Tuesday mornings only, and Wednesday are the same as Mondays. My other dcb only comes Mon, Tues, Wed, so that means that every week I get Thursday Friday off!! This is working out great for us and I'm so happy I talked to them before walking away completely. And the 4 year old is finally potty trained so that's another bonus!!
