One moms mat leave is up at the end of sept, I assume that the baby will be at least 11mo.
Now the other mom is quite the organizer and isn't done her mat leave until April. I said I don't know at this point if I will have an opening in April, but she is a teacher and said Sept would work too. Which then I will have a spot as a 3yo boy will be leaving for school and new sitter in his home area(I live by dads work and knew them previously). I think it's a little crazy to be looking this early-as she doesn't need care for another 8 months.
