    Only the husband is coming for work. The wife is a student and will be caring for the child. They are looking for care 2 days per wk as he is normally in a nursery school and very sociable plus she will be continuing with her studies while here(grad school). She even said she could easily get a nanny but she would rather not because he wouldn't get to be around other kids. Obviously if I didn't have 3 open spaces I wouldn't entertain the idea. I appreciate everyone's concerns however I've taken all the precautions so we'll see.

    Just have to ask myself, why would they put him in a home daycare if it is for socialization? Why not a licensed preschool program? If they are coming all this way for work, chances are they can afford it...especially 2 days a week. Sorry...can't help but wonder still...

    Well it's simple, Toronto daycare centres have huge wait lists. You need to be on the list when you are 2 seconds pregnant and even then you may not get a spot. I am remaining open but cautious.

    She also said no one responded to her emails requesting care which I am assuming is either because they suspected a scam or they would never have a spot anyways so didn't bother responding.
