I am so done!

Ok. Maybe time to think outside the box.

Is there another provider near you who you respect and trust who has own kid too? What about swapping kids? I serious. It just for couple months. You take other provider's kid, she takes yours. Sure it'll be a pain to physically get them to each other but it will be interest for each child to make new friends, switch up routine.

I not even know if this practical but sometimes, thinking outside the box is answer.

I've considered this before. It's not a bad idea, though I'm not sure it would be worth it financially. I don't make much $ to begin with as I only take in 3 daycare kids at any onetime. If I then have to pay for daycare for my daughter then I only have the income of two daycare kids, at which point it just doesn't seem worth it. We only have until May when I give notice and then I really can't say who will be here for how long. I think we can find ways to cope until then, not to mention that once the weather warms up it should make things easier too. It's a good idea though!

If you swapping kids, no money exchange. Money might raise question about costs and scams etc. I meant just swap kids. You feed hers, she feeds yours, you entertain hers, you entertain hers. Literally new challenges and environment and friends for both but no money. You have same income as now, she have same income as now.
