Im 25 years old and had my daughter on 5/29/10 she is evrything i could of ever hoped for.. shes 16 months now and iv been home with her since she was born. i tryed 2 different care givers who knew nothing about hearing impairment and hearing aids. i felt that they felt over whelmed.. i finialy decided to just not work and stay home with Cali when the sitter called me in a frantic saying how she lost the part to the hearing aid. and not to mention those batteries are toxic if swallowd.. i just feel like theres so much i want to do to help other ppl in my sisituation. there are no child cares for infant babies with this type of disability.. i feel like iv had to put my life on hold bc there is no provider for her untill she turns 3 and can go to pre school.. but what about the paretns that cant afford to stay home? they end up droppin their child off at the child care facility and she will most likly end up falling behind because he or she is not being properly taught... i want to so badly open up a place for these infants to grow and enjoy learn and be in safe care with knowlageable caring ppl. i just dont understand that if ppl like my self have a child that has special needs.. why do we need to put our family income at steak bc the only option is for the child to stay home with us... Im enjoying every minute being home with my daughter.. im teaching her sign language and mannors...all the fun stuff lol.. but in never hearf of such a place for infants/toddlers that could go for the day while there parents are at work and know that their child is being taught what they need to know. has anyone heard of a childcare like this?
