I am so lucky I have THE BEST homecare woman! So she's had her own home licensed daycare for 25 years and happens to be a friend of my family, so I've known her since I was little. She's only $40 a day, no matter how many hours! I dropped Emma off one day so I could take my CPR class, and was only a few hours, she told me she wasn't going to charge me because it wasn't that long! Another time I forgot to pack Emma's formula, she bought her a whole can and refused to take the money for it! This week she made us food to take home! I am so lucky! She's GREAT with Emma and she LOVES it there! My daughter is always eating gormet meals too, its not just cereal for breakfast or a lousy sandwhich for lunch!
