I have a family coming tomorrow to see where I live and all, and they have a 6 year old who is home schooled and a nine month old. They would only be part time. I haven't taken babies before because I enjoy the toddler aged and older ones a lot more and I'm not really set up for baby care. However, I know this family from the church I practically grew up in and I know they'd be an easy to work with family, so that's why I'm willing to take a baby now. BUT I don't have any equipment for her, just toys. Is it really necessary to have things like swings and walkers and exersaucers and all for this age? I am very limited on space so I don't even know where I'd put that stuff
Also, what can I expect developmentally from that age group?
Oh, and I may not even get this family because they live about thirty minutes away (but the mom works in my town), so they are trying to decide between me and another lady in their own town.
