I would like to start off by saying that I am very concerned about the proposed changes.  I am a single mother of 2 children, 3 year boy and 3 month old girl.  I struggle every month to make the payment for my child care center as it is, but I have had a bad experience with my son getting mistreated through a private sitter, that is why I decided to put him in a state regulated day care center.  If this proposal goes through, I will unfortunately have to take the chance of finding another private sitter and hope for the best.  This is unfair to the thousands of working parents out there that are happy with their current child care center and the regulations in place.
