I think you are right to trust your gut. If you think she was overwhelmed by the children in her care, you may be right.
I freely admit that sometimes I'm overwhelmed by my own 5 kids ... but I'm not offering to be paid to watch other people's children. I think we also all have different comfort levels when it comes to chaos and what we are comfortable with. I'm definitely more comfortable with chaos than some of you might be ... and I've had my own 2 year old escape out onto the street ... but I'm not sure that I would feel comfortable with it happening at my childcare provider's house. Double standard? Totally.
That being said, when I worked at the preschool this year, there were days that I was charged with 10 preschool children for 2 hours on my own. No one died. Just kidding ... it was manageable ... and we had fun .... but no one was climbing on anything and there was control.
You've made the best choice for you and your little one!
