Hello All!
This is my first post. I have 2 girls.. one is 2 and the other is 7 months. Starting next week I will be taking care of two boys. For the first few weeks it will be random days just to orient everyone. Starting mid March it will be full time. The two boys are 3.5 and almost 1.

I am just trying to pick some brains and figure somethings out.

What are the things that you find most useful when it comes to interacting with the kids, activities, circle time, etc.

Any tips on blending the kids together so my girls don`t feel overwelmed?

What do you do with the kids when you are preparing meals/snacks to occupy them?

How do you find time to still get your own stuff done?

I am feeling a bit overwelmed and could really use some advice at this point.

Thank you all so much.
