Should i put my 11 month old in daycare or let my mother watch him from hom?
Ok i will be starting back school March 18 for my CNA license . My son will be 1 yrs old march 2, 2024
I live in Illinois i also currently live with my mother
Im on her lease but the co applicant and i also help pay rent because she has no income
My school starts March 18 and then ends May 5th
Ive been undecided of letting her watch him because of her health problems and on top of that i have to pay her plus rent and pay 1600 for my class out of pocket .
Shes agreed to watch him from 10:00am-4:30pm
Now i currently don't drive i use uber a-lot
The daycare is a 37 Min Walk from my house to the daycare
Then i would have to walk back from his daycare
To the other bus stop which will take me 21 min
To catch the bus to school
Now the class requirements is i cant miss more than 1 day or I'm dropped from the course
Do you guys think i should put him in daycare and pay her or go through the state for daycare which nothing would come out my pocket but probably a copay of 0-100 every month
I have to be at the daycare before 6
And the buses run every hour
What do you guys think i should do ?

Calculate the total cost for each options and then the time and distance needed for both and see which one outweighs the other in $ and time. Also put into account the stress either may cause you. That is also important. If your mom watching you child makes you more stressed then I’d see what you could do to make the other option work.
