- Could anyone give me some hints on making a move to a new city and a
- new daycare situation bearable for a child who will be 3 in January?
-
- Here is the situation: after moving from our house in November, we
- are moving now to another city where I have a new job. Anna will be
- 3 in 2 weeks, and will now start with a babysitter (who has care of
- 3 others ages 3 mo, 2 yr, and 4 yr) -- a change from the daycer she
- has been in since 10 weeks.
-
- To complicate matters, she will spend the day we load the truck and
- the day the truck unloads with me, as well as the next 2 days. I plan
- on taking her to the babysitters for this time. Her father then takes her
- for the next week.
-
- I start the new job during this week. This means I have some time to
- get going on this, without her about to get me crazed, but also means
- she loses any time I might have in helping her adjust to a new place
- and routine.
-
- Truck comes Monday, and we move in on Tuesday. Her father comes Thursday
- to pick her up and will return the following Sat/Sun (he is insure
- right now when). By the way, he lives about 5 hours from our new home.
-
- Any ideas? I already have taken her to see where we will live, and to
- spend some time with the new babysitter (I did not leave her there).
-
- What else can I do?
-
- Please respond to my new work mail address as I am not sure how much longer
- I will have access to this group. Sigh. Will miss you all!
-
- Mail address is: ajar@slumus.bitnet
-
- Will be there next week, and will start new job 1/11 so will respond after that
- to any suggestions. Thanks!
