PN its been such a roller coaster. We met 10 family day care educators and liked a few but lots were way different than what I thought I'd find.
I found a lovely gentle serene FDC educator only 10 mins from home but she only had a Friday available so we've taken that spot, hoping for more days next year.
I asked my cousin who lives in the same region as my work and she is thrilled to have DD for 2 days a week- she's worked with children and is a sahm who is a kinder teacher too. My parents will have DD one day a week.
It's far from what I want for DD, having multiple carers over a week but 2 are family so I just keep saying to myself ' it takes a village to raise a child' and putting my many fears aside.
I'm going to request a different kinder for next year. Where I am for term 4 is just too far especially with dropping off DD.
I looking forward to learning lots from you guys.
