The first answer assumes she wants to work. Based on the question, it sounds like she wants to stay home...
I didn’t go to work until my daughter, who was the youngest of my children went to Kinder Garden, and then it was part time in the morning while she was in Kinder Garden and her two older brothers were in school. I did consider working when my sons were smaller, but I figured the cost of a baby sitter and the transportation or fuel cost, etc wasn’t worth it.
