Cadillac, thank you for your post and I hope your daughter feel better soon. I think it won't be bad at all as I will have 2 walkers already and the 2, 12 months old can be in stroller.

I though about mentioning at drop off as she likes to stay at least 20 mins and we chat. But I wanted to talk with both parents and the only time they could come together is at the weekends. And I need to talk to them this weekend the latest as I have found a family already and they would like to know latest August 1st.

I Won't have all 4 everyday just 3 days and I have found a part time morning help until the end of summer and in winter we don't go out much anyway.

Kidlove and Judy, I'm in Alberta, Calgary and I'm a private day home. For private day homes there are no rules and regulations here. In fact, you can take care of 10 children and no one would say a word. It is up to the parents to make sure the provider is capable of taking care all the kids well.

I will not be asking their permition. I just wanted to let them know what will happen. And im prepared if she decide to go. Funny, this morning when she came to drop off her child she saw all 4 together and she praised me and told me how well I take care of them and how well they behave with me. I was like " I hope you will feel the same when I tell you that I'm taking 4th child"

To be honest, in the begining I thought 4 kids will be too much especially, I live in a 2bedroom apartment but now I think it is very well doable.

And another reason I wanted the 4 th child is because one of my part timer (2days) is leaving and I could not find a replacement for 2days but lots of inquiries for full time.

Alphabetti, that is a nice letter. I think I will talk to them face to face so that I can answer their questions right away.

Thank you ladies.
