Grrrr. We have basically a week to search, hire and train a caregiver for our disabled son. Our current caregiver left a note in our house saying she was resigning.
We knew this would eventually happen as daycare workers seem to come and go. This one lasted a year.
Definitely would have been nice to have a bit more notice - as we both have full time jobs. It's not as simple as hiring a babysitter. We need to coordinate with the daycare, the community nurse and a community organization to help us find someone.
Mostly this hurts Jake. He's grown attached to her and she knows his signs and communication techniques. She knows how to feed him through a gastric tube, and how to help him develop physically. (She's been working with the physiotherapist.)
In the end we will have to take Jake out of daycare and have one of us at home full time. We see this now. It is inevitable unless we want Jake to have a string of caregivers who don't care and whom he can't really communicate with or develop.
