Good on you Brooke! my mum took both of mine too until they reached the age when they could speak for themselves, and also needed to mix with other kids. (about age 2). She didnt have the two together though and it was only part time. It is so difficult here too to get good child care. Most creches charge the equivelent of $1000 per child per month and only suit people who have Monday - Friday day jobs. There is nothing for weekend or night workers.
I'm just setting up my room at work for this year in school.
