I started caring for Charlotte when she was 4 months old, occasionally. Later, in March 2025, I started caring for her three times a week. In April, when she turned one year, we signed a one-year long-term agreement. Unfortunately, due to financial reasons and the family's relocation, we will be terminating our contract in September 2025.
My routine activities with Charlie consist of feeding her in the morning, changing her clothes and diapers, and driving out in my own car to activities at playgrounds or bookstores. In the summer, we have lunch outdoors, returning for an afternoon nap. Meanwhile, I do housework: laundry, dishes, personal chores, and baby care. When she wakes up, around 4 p.m., Charlie has a snack, and we do activities at home, like reading, playing games, and learning, until it's time for me to leave.
