Hey Treeholm....easy on the judgement calls there. This is a tough job and for some of us it runs for 12 hours/day. I've had my own kids get up and get into mischief whilst I slept. It happens. Her little poo stomper is obviously very quiet. Personally, my dcks sleep in pack and plays in separate rooms and I am NOT with them. The point of quiet time, aside from children having their sleep, is for me to have a good break. Quite frankly, we all deserve it. I might suggest that a monitor is in order as it will amplify sound, making it a little tougher for things like this to happen. I have them set up on both floors the kids sleep on. I like my kids separate so I don't have to do the whole 'settling everyone in thing'. We all have cribs in our bedrooms...kids don't like it, but they have to take one for the team After a bad night's sleep or if I'm ill, I've been known to doze too and I make no bones about that with the parents. If you are watching the children CONSTANTLY for the whole time you're open, you're pushing yourself too hard. YOU need a break too...or burnout will catch up with you.

And Mlle....yeah, definitely charging too little. Bump it up about $10-$15.....still not what we're worth but on par with most others.
