[Editor's Note: Nothing is more frustrating that not being able to find safe, reliable care for your child.

It's Blogworthy has been through the wringer with finding a new daycare solution for her son and the clock is still ticking. -Jenna]

Daycare Drama Redux:

Sunnyside DaycareThis whole process makes me sick. Literally, sick. My blood pressure raises and my stomach gets queasy and I just want to quit my job and never leave the house with him again. We have a few leads, but there is always something: too far away, too expensive, too inexperienced. I was on a website the other day for a daycare center, where they posted a picture of their “infant room”, a room with individual cribs placed side by side, about 6 on each side.

I have the most amazing child care/ pre school learning center - KidZ Go Eco in Saco, Maine. Took 3 children but it was found.

I didn't. I quit my rat race job and stayed home to raise my kids. We did without a lot of the extras but had a home and plenty to eat and a few extras. In the end it was worth every sacrifice I made.

Impossible but we had a lot of rotten eggs before we came across the best daycare in town. When we moved 2000 miles I cried because I was terrified I would have to go through all the pain of finding one again... what I discovered... I found the one I love and I kept with it...
