here in Co, we have to pay the other family out of our stipend, based on our per day rate.

I think you should sent the things they need. Diapers, formula, clothes, bottles, etc. They are getting paid to care for your kids and should not have to use the little money they get to buy supplies.

I put a list in their bag of EVERYTHING that I sent along. I also send a schedule if they are nappers. I write something like -- I know with little ones, things cen get placed around the house, so I included a list of the things I sent, so it will make it easier for you when they come back to us.
