exactly, the baby's schedule may change everyday. So does that mean the provider has to hold off the baby's feeding until mom gets there? I'm sorry, but when babys are hungry, they want it NOW. I agree that it would be extremely disruptive to the providers schedule. And I also agree, that I would not want a parent coming into my house every afternoon. When I get my kids down for nap...I fold laundry, I clean the house, I get dinner started, etc. and I wouldn't want someone there while I am trying to do these things. Also, the provider would have to be standing there at the ready for when the mom finishes, instead of going about their normal routine to keep the household and the business in order. At home providers are also moms too, and they need to get their things done too and most days, during naptime is the only time we have. I also don't like anyone interrupting my kids naptime....it is the only break I get in a twelve hour day.
