Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I suspect I was a bit too eager to sign my first family, and should have asked more questions. I didn't discover until they had already signed the contract (and sent me a long list of "requests") that she needed to be rocked to sleep. I was hopeful that she would only need to be rocked for a few minutes and would then settle on her own, but nope... One hour later of crying/screaming/constant rocking. My own child had little trouble going to sleep as a baby, so this is as much of an adjustment for me as it is for her (DCG).

Regardless, I think you have all confirmed what I was thinking - that I need to get parents on board with letting her cry it out (which is doubtful as they said in their list of requests that there should be "absolutely no crying it out") or I will need to terminate. I can't afford to have a dayhome with just one child (part-time at that, she's only Monday/Wednesday/Friday). :-) And if I keep her on, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any others on.

Thanks again.
