I did SA only care for four years and this year I'm doing infant only care.

I just spent the afternoon with the infant, an 18 month old, and a 3 year old.


I have definitely made the right choice NOT to do mixed age care! Whew! I don't know how you ladies (and gentlemen) do it, but I do know that I have enormous respect for all of you!!!

I agree. Mix ages wears you out! I have toddlers and preschoolers, one baby mixed in but the hardest time I had was last fall when I had several infants and then on up to preschool. That was a really bad idea. I don't take anyone that isn't walking.....just doesn't work for me.

THings are a lot more fun now that my babies are toddlers! Started out with 9 months-4 years. Now it's 18 months to almost 5, and a whole lot easier!
