So my daughter who just turned 2 in January has been at an in-home daycare since she was 7 months old. We've had the pleasure of being with her during school breaks and summer as my husband and I are both teachers. However, I'm due with my second in June and daycare is sooo expensive so I was looking at alternatives. I found a wonderful woman to come into our house and watch both of them starting in November when I go back to work for quite cheap. It sounds too good to be true. The only issue I'm having is that my daughter who is used to being with a boy 2.5 and a 3.5 year girl will now be stuck home with her infant brother. I feel she is soo smart, so verbal, so well behaved and has gained so much from her environment and I'm afraid she'll not only regress but not be challenged being by herself. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated. TIA
