Help..decisions ...

I am currently looking to go back to work full time. I looked at a place for 2 tear old son today I liked it, but I also have a daughter starting kindergarten in August which is full time here....so I need some help with her care too. I did the math it would cost me 335 a week for both kids for care. Or I have a possible sitter willing to take 300 a week to care for son from 1230pm-530 and pick daughter up. Mon-thurs. for those of you with experience what are your thoughts? It's been 4 years since I worked full time ...yikes!

What will your work schedule be?  If it's full time, I don't see how Mon-Thurs. would work.  What would you do with the kids on Fridays?  My DD is starting kinder in August too.  We're paying $250 a month for after school care for her and $650 a month for my 2  year old DS to be at a daycare center full time.  Maybe daycare is a lot more expensive in Scottsdale?

Personally I would prefer to put the 2yr old in DC.  My kids are 15months and almost 3yrs and they both love going to "school" and playing with their friends.  I think they really get a lot from the socialization at DC.  I also am not too comfortable with other people driving my kids, if the sitter is going to pick your daughter up from school.
