I have a daughter although she doesn't disturb me at all but as a mom, you worry because you wonder what she might need and you want to know what will make her comfortable even if she's just playing.

Like you, I worked from home before my kids went to preschool at age 3, and when I absolutely had to go to meetings or have some uninterrupted work time, I brought them to a home-care sitter one day a week. This worked well because my childcare costs were minimized, their time with me was maximized, and I was able to schedule "kid-free" work one day a week.
