Daycare Crisis Averted...
For now...
I talked to Cheryl, Kylie's teacher from the nursery who is a friend of my mom's. She said she was looking for some kids to keep since she'll be out of a job but she lives too far out for most people to drive. So I told her if she'd keep Kylie and Krista's baby, she could keep them at my house, so she said she would and one more. So my spare bedroom is now going to be a playroom!
Krista kept asking me "Are you sure you want people in your house?" and I'm like "hey, I trust Cheryl more than I'd trust some of my family so that's not an issue and well, with everyone else, I'll just have to get used to it. I'm going to have people in my house anyway if I set up a studio" Cheryl & I both agreed that if either one of us feels the situation isn't working out, then no hard feeling, etc as long as we give the others notice. And we also agreed that the other kid has to be one of 'her kids' that Kylie has gone to school with and that we know. kwim? In fact it may be her friend Amanda or my friend Tracy's Braydon. Tracy has been wanting to get him in somewhere 2-3 days a week but most places won't do part time so she said that would be great. He loves Cheryl too and he knows Kylie.
So for the time being, we're doing the best we can. All the daycare centers have waiting lists and they are going to get longer with almost 90 kids out of her center being without daycare. I told Krista when she kept asking if I was ok with it "Hey, our kids have a place to go with someone we both trust completely. They are safe and sound. That's the best we can do at this point" I just feel bad for the others & the workers being out of jobs this close to the holidays.
Krista said "What happens if you or Todd or Kylie is sick, or worse, Cheryl is sick?" and I said 'hey we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. what else are we going to do?'
I'm out of ideas and options, so what else could we do?
