    You ladies are a wonderful pick me up. It's really hard for me to change hours on this client as i feel like i've committed to them and they've given me no reason to change my commitment. Maybe my downfall in this job. I think tonight i will treat myself to something fun.

    I've also been sitting here for 2 hours listening to my new little guy cry and jump in his playpen. He's a horrible napper! Here's hoping he get's better... And soon!

    The little guy I have doesn't nap at home very well either... and now he's giving mom trouble at bed time too. I think the response I have depends on how they react. This little one cries and jumps until he finally cries while lieing on his tummy then will drift off to sleep. So, me going in to calm him doesn't work. He just has to work through it on his own. So I let him know that it's time for sleep... I go in every oncein a while and place him back down and remind him it's time for sleep. He's not going to have a good nap until he's totally comfortable here, and this is only his second week... it will take some time to adjust. I have him in the room that's the most soundproof... away from the other rooms so the other ones sleep right through it... they can hardly hear him.

A few tips...

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.
