Daycare Income and Expense Worksheet Form

That’s a really tough question and it comes down to what you can afford.For example, I make about $30/hour before taxes. In looking at care(.)com for a nanny or babysitter, many charged $15–20/hour for one kid. At that rate, I would actually be losing money to go to work. So I picked up fewer hours and opted to change my schedule so only family was watching our son. It’s hard to find daycare that is inexpensive. Not every family can afford to do that.

By paying attention when their have an opinion and lesson when something is bothering them in school. Like a fucked up mean teacher. Knowing that their can come to Daddy and trust me to tell me anything ,not being afraid when it's something really bad they did, and explaining that school is part of life that you have to go in and face that teacher that may not like her. Showing that I am on my child’s side even though she started the shit, who to believe first, my child first, and explaining everything and all things straight honest.

I was removed from my parent’s home at Age thirteen. I couldn’t have been more relieved. Nine months later I returned home, but things were never the same. The first time my Dad and Stepmother became upset with me and my sister they threatened foster care. And, that’s just what happened. I was back in foster care, tried living with my biological mother, then back into foster care. I went through a lot. Something in me kept pushing me along though. I never felt satisfied with what I saw, and believed their had to be more out there than what I saw.In the end, I’d have to say things did work out, relatively speaking. Of course, I had my share of issues. I had next to no support system, and still in the process of trying to figure out who I was, where I belonged, and of all those fun things. But, there are some major game changers that I was able to avoid.I grew up with a strong work ethic, so that worked in my favor. When I graduated from high school at eighteen. I already had a job and was able to rent an apartment the day following graduation. With out this, who knows what direction I could have gone. Maybe I would have went the homeless route, or welfare.I also never became pregnant until much later in life. Had I - my whole life would have turned upside down.My friends and I, during some of my teenage years, were into plenty of drugs and alcohol. It was the 70’s after all. While there were fun times, most were not if I was to be honest. I eventually left that world too. About ten years later, my best friend from that time consequently died from complications of drinking.With everything I experienced up until the age of eighteen, I could have easily gone down a different road.Ultimately, we do choose the direction in which we want to go. But so many factors play into those decisions and some adolescents truly aren’t capable of making right choices when they need to. I believe it would be completely unfair of me to credit myself for things working out the way they did.A couple big problems is that many foster children have never been taught to think of themselves in a worthy way; they often have little to no self value. Loving parental guidance is often a foreign concept. Well, the list goes on.Success for us, and/or things turning out good in the end, can look different from let’s say, a child in the Beaver Cleaver household. And don’t let anyone tell you that doesn’t exist. It does! I’ve met them. But I digress…In my late twenties I finally went to college and became an elementary teacher. Ironically, I was the first of five siblings to go to college.I want to acknowledge God in all of this. I don’t know where I’d be without him!

There are problems surely but not insurmountable. There are many single mothers who have raised their child beautifully and in an examplary way. In fact single or couple , parenting is a huge responsibility. And then if you are a working mother, you have no one to offer any help. But nothing to get discouraged. Every problem can be sorted out . You could take help of your parents or could take help of a crèche, so that you can feel safe about the child . There are companies who allow you work from home. Try to get such a job. But remember if you are a loving mother,the child will soon understand you and will always be proud of you. And that would be the wonderful reward which will make your life worth living. All the best. Thanks for A2A.

I had a foster kid who was captured by Social Services as a 10 yo male prostitute, with a bad enough huffing habit that his face was eroded. He had no idea what his last name was, or the names of his parents. Social Services gifted him with the last name “Brown”. He ran away from every home they put him in, getting by on his own for periods of years before recapture. When he came to me, a 17 yo remanded by the court for underage drinking, he did not know what toilet paper was for, but he was incredibly intelligent and a voracious reader. He played guitar like rain falls from the sky.His one desire in life was to do enough drugs that his intelligence, and understanding of the world, could be destroyed, and he could live in peace. He stayed, mostly straight, until adulthood freed him to pursue his dream, which he promptly did. He is now slightly brain damaged, clean and sober, and in a committed relationship of some years. He cleans carpets for a national firm. He can no longer play guitar, but he is happy.

New age, new technology!But let me first start by saying I do not depend on the technology (read childcare centre’s app) to find out about whats happening.Since this is my first interaction with a day care, I did not know what to expect or to not expect. Luckily I found the most amazing child care providers, from the administrators to the people who stay by my baby’s side all day, 5 days a week.I remember when he first started day care, he used to cry and ask for mommy, and won’t eat. Since we have certain diet restrictions, the centre provided him vegetarian food, and he would come home hungry and starving.But then these super nice girls/women, who were all ECEs or in the process to be one. They made sure to keep me posted about his day, they would call me as per my instructions if he would go over the board. One specific girl would sit with him by the window as he stood there for hours, waiting for mommy.They would provide me with ‘accident reports’ if he slipped or got a scratch. I was not expecting all these documents because again this was my first experience.They send daily emails, with a general description of the day, the food, nap durations, number of pees/poos, with pictures of the activities performed during the day. They send monthly calendars of the future events/special days.Moreover, every day when I pick him up, the girls generally provide me a brief summary of his day and the conversations since he likes to tell stories about the day before to everyone.And then there is the app that has daily photos, plus details of activities.My child has had an amazing leap of learning. I have watched him on cameras and through peep holes. He has transformed into an amazing human being, learnt manners, etiquettes, interactions, and loads of ‘please’ and ‘thank you’.Financially, it definitely is a lot of money that I pay, but the care and learning is beyond words. No regrets and 100% satisfaction!!

With the following:In Scandinavia, the mother, and the father receive money for a certain period after the baby has been born. The maternal leave period can vary from 13 to 69 weeks and the paternal leave from 2 to 12. It’s mostly the social security that pays up.(Parental leave)Hope this helped!
