    Overwhelmed. New daycare. 12m old not right fit

    I just opened my daycare last week. I have my own 16m old daughter who's super active. I have one 12m old in my care right now (mom signed up 6m in advance) with a great mom.

    Babe can't sit unassisted, stand, crawl (scoots though) can't pull up or cruise furniture, and can't get up from laying down or roll over from back to front, etc. I'm finding her extremely demanding and it's taking away from the joy of the job. She has bouts of crying where she needs to be held off and on. She is on 2 naps and day and though she's napping they are only 40m each, then cries until I go and bring her down. Then she's tired again by 3pm because she didn't nap long enough and has a meltdown. She's a big baby too and the weight is killing me. Where's she's at developmentally is really taking away from my own daughter as well. I'm feeling as though, perhaps this isn't the right fit.

    Has anyone been in this situation?

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.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
