My son was asked not to return to daycare until he stops biting. I knew this was coming but I am pretty upset about the short notice to find him a new place. They did not even let him finish out the week. So I now think an in home caretaker is the way to go since he needs more one on one attention. I have three prospects I will be meeting over the weekend. Now they will only have to watch him three days a week from 6:30-6:00 (worst case scenario when my husband is not available to pick him up earlier.) So what are your opinoins on these three prospects?

1. Older woman, keeps one other child and is open to keep up to three children at a time. Her home is somewhat out of the way but of course worth it if he will get the care we need. ($150 a week)

2. Young woman, has a 10.5 month old and a three year old of her own and keeps one other three year old. Would also keep my son. Pretty close to work, however she lives in an apartment not a house. But there is a playground in the complex she takes the kids too. ($120 a week)

3. Young woman with a 2.5 year old. Would come to my home and watch our son and hers. She would be here three days a week )11 hours each day) and only charges $130.00 a week. I just think that sounds way to inexspensive for someone to come to my home?

Of course I will do background checks and verify first aid and CPR training etc.

Any experienced moms have some advice? I think in home childcare is the way to go until my son gets through this biting stage.
