GREAT practical tips for me, mckenna! thanks. Interesting view of taking only infants / toddlers since you're a working single mom. Do you have them in outside daycare or in your home? Good points about how they don't have the emotional backage older kids do, and have a different kind of focus / work requirement. I think, although I love babies and wee ones, that with my personality and interests, I prefer to start out this way with older ones who at least can talk to me and are more physically independent, but who are still young enough for me to have some kind of shaping / influence in their lives before the adolescent years take over. I'm learning a lot through the certification process, and have incredible support & help on many fronts in my life, which is great. I use a crockpot all the time even being single, so i'm convinced! I love it -- and for kids and me working it will be great.
