For my last three moms that were pregnant, they all left their older child with me 3-5 days but paid for the full space. They each received a top up amount through work on top of their regular mat leave benefits so financially they were able to do it. I know that isn't true for most people.
Same thing here. Mom got topped up through work so financially they were able to do it. She does keep her child home two days a week and then the odd day here and there.
Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
