I watch a 5 month old from my home Monday-Friday 7:30-5:30.

Her parents are becoming more lenient with me having to take her places, and they usually have a backup sitter for pre planned, non emergency things, like appointments that are scheduled.

If they don’t have a backup I don’t mind taking her, and they’re getting more comfortable with that.

I hate having to tell them that I have an appointment because I know it’s a small hassle to line up backup, but my drs and my sons drs aren’t open any other times. Their hours are 7-5.

I want to start watching one more child from my home, but idk how that would work. I couldn’t take them both and my son with me.

How do you guys who watch kids from your home fit in appointments? They’re few and far between, but we’re ttc so I’m (hopefully) going to be having quite a few appointments.
