Taking a 34 month old/last daycare no nap

[5 Little Monkeys]

Well she is almost 3, which is a fairly common age for some kids to start phasing naps out. (I'm so thankful my 2 almost 4 yo's still nap and even ask for it sometimes lol)

I would try napping her, even for 45-60 mins but in a year or so she will have to cut naps out again for school.

If you do decide to take her on, have a trial period written into your contract in case it ends up being too disruptive for you. If she won't sleep then give her a few books and tell her she needs to stay in her rest spot just like everyone else. I find having a comfy place for the older ones to rest helps. Babies tend to be fine sleeping on the playpen mat with a couple of sheets, but when they get older, i find they like something that feels like their bed at home. I have my older kids lying on a piece of foam mattress which i sewed a cover for, and is still firm but feels great. They usually like to go for a 'rest in their nest'. good luck!
