    I have felt the same way about missing co-workers. What I did was hire an assistant for a couple of hours a day. Her and I don't gab. She really does attend to the children with me, but just having her there makes all the difference for me. For my sanity, the cost to pay her is worth it. Then if you need her to tag team with you for the one not sleeping...it's an option. (that doesn't work if it keeps other children up though )

    I don't have enough children to hire an assistant - only will take 3 children max to keep ratios low. Luckily, hubby and I are not in it for the money. The one p/t and one f/t pay for our mortgage, and we're happy with that! I own a dance school too.

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.
