My LO is in daycare two days a week, which has made it really tricky to find the right provider. Where she is now is OK, not perfect, so I'm still looking for the right fit.
A coworker referred me to a SAHM who has a degree in early childhood development, is a former preschool teacher, and has taken all the classes to be a licensed daycare. Sounds perfect, right?
Well, she has two sons, one 4 and one 2. The 4 year old has autism - but this alone doesn't make me hesitate. (Although the whole 30 mins I was over there and LO was sleeping in her carseat he kept trying to hit her and wake her up, but I would expect that of any 4 year old). The problem is she has to drive him to both therapy and "school" everyday. So my LO would be in the car with her for about 3 hours of each day. I just don't know how I feel about that. I'm struggling because on the one hand I think this woman would take better care of LO but yet 3 hours a day in the car... oooof. What would you do?
