I currently have 5 little ones enrolled. Three of them have been enrolled for a while, and two are brand new.
I am allowed to have 6 little ones (this age group) in my registered Home Daycare.
My current group is my son 3 years old, boy 19 months old, girl 17 months old and my two new ones are girl 11 months old (starts Monday) and girl 8 months old (just completed her first trial week). Four are full time and 8 month old is 3 days a week.
A parent contacted me about enrolling their 8 week old and I'm unsure. I had such a great routine with my older three and I'm exhausted after caring for the 8 month old this last week. I'm not sure if I just need to get used to the change or if infants aren't my ideal age group.
The 8 week old would be here full time 7:15-5:30. She is currently enrolled in a center that has 15 other infants in the same room. Mom and dad of course don't feel like she is getting adequate attention, staying in a crib the majority of the day, etc...
What should I consider when making this decision? What am I not thinking of?
Do you take young infants? If not, why?
