Need some advice

[Bugaboo]

Well I get your points,

And my son has been with her since he was 14 months old...She has taught him words, how to pick up after himself, she even did some of his laundry when our machine was broken...Honestly he didn't know how to use a spoon or drink out of a glass and now he does all that....

He asks for her and says he "lubs" her..makes me jelous -sorry bad spelling- but happy...I just can't always say I would have the cash to pay....thats my only worry.

She sounds like an awesome provider! I know its hard financially and I totally get the child care is very VERY expensive. But this is your child. You do have to pay (usually more) for great care. If this provider is as great as you have said and your child is happy I say find a way to make it work. Can you find an area in your budget you can cut back on? Your child is in a safe and enriching environment that should be your very first financial obligation.
