Tired Babies

Staci asked:


I used to work for a daycare, so I am certified in infant/child CPR and first aid, and an old co-worker wants me to watch her 6 week old baby in my home a couple of days a week. What should I charge? I have NO clue what the going rate is!

Does anyone know where I can buy an infant or 0-3 cheer care bear halloween costume? I have looked everywhere and the places that have that size are all sold out! Anything would help thanks!

For those of you who send your babies to infant care at 2-3 months old, can I find out what your experiences are?
I have just started my 3 month old at infant care, and I don’t really feel very good about it. I am not sure whether I should send to a home care instead. Is it any better?

I would really like to know how to take care of a baby duck, Can you train them? What do you keep them in? How do you keep them out of their food and drinking water?

My sister is a stay at home mom with two teenage boys. My baby is 5 months old. I’ve asked how much she wants to charge but she won’t give an amount, although she does want paid. (Of course I have no problem paying her, but how much would you pay? Money is very tight for us but I want to be fair to her). She will be watching the baby at her home every weekday for about 8 hours each day. How much should I pay her? Thanks!

i work at a day care. a lead teacher in the 2 year old class. today i got my first written warning been there for 7 months. i got a warning because i sent a note home with a child. yes they are 2 years old. i sent a note home because she threw her lunch in the floor screaming and jumping in it because i wouldnt give her a 3rd cup of milk. the reason behind why i wouldnt was she hadnt eaten a thing. here i am getting written up because my boss thought the note wasnt necassary. mind you it was a good note. in concern for her not eating. not her behavior. there 2 it happens. we have like 20 teachers and i find out today after being written up there is a teacher pinching children for dicsipline and teachers telling there children to shut up and then there are teachers actually popping there children. without being written up. im just finding this out i did call the state dfac and i put in my 2 week notice. does this seem fair to anyone? what are some suggestions on how to deal with all thi
as well kids being left outside and teachers not being aware. i generally stay to myself. my director isnt the best boss. she does nothing. i have kidney stones and if i call to go to the restroom it takes 30 minutes then i have a flare up and miss work? among other things. im just annoyed with the whole situation and surprised i was blind at all until i actually stood up for myself and found out what was really going on! how do i proceed with this. my child actually attends there in a pre-k class. seperate situation though. public christian day care state funded pre-k. there hired by the state. his teachers are the best. he does great there. i would like him to attend still. whats the best measures of dealing??

Moe asked:


bills, etc. Every now and then I have my ex come over, and no not to do the wild thing. The other day he came over and we just hung out, mostly at the stores. When I got home I cooked lunch afterwhich I would be leaving to go to work. I washed all the dishes, pots, pans and took out the garbage,after I offered him a plate and he accepted. I proceeded to get ready for work while he ate.

On my way out the door I went back to see if I missed anything and saw he left his plate in the sink and his empty can of soda sitting on the counter. I asked him why didn’t he wash out his plate and discard his can. I informed him I am teaching my kids to be responsible for their mess. He looked at me like I was crazy I asked him if his mother washes out his plate (evidently she does) he didn’t answer me. I added his mother doesn’t live with me but let me check to see if her name is on the mail box. All this came out my mouth before I could stop it. Am I being trifling or is he?

I have a 5 month old infant that was hospitalized for a month. Obvoisly transporting the infant to the hospital counts as medical miles, but does the dailly travel to visit and care for the infant also count as medical miles.

Care includes feeding, diapers, medical procedures that would routinely happen in the home, learn how to do new medical procedures for when the infant returns home and to learn how to use new medical equipment that will be used in the home.
