It’s summertime, and that means school is out. While some parents may enjoy the luxury of spending all day, every day, with their children, others have careers that require finding someone to keep their child during the workday.
Whether you are hiring a nanny or leaving your child at a child care facility, trusting someone else with the care of your child can be a scary thing. Many try to find a family member to babysit their child, but sometimes life situations require that you turn to strangers in caring for your most precious possession.
Here are a few tips when looking for the perfect person or facility to care for your child:
Make a list and check it twice
Before you begin visiting care facilities or asking friends for recommendations, be sure to make a list of qualifications or qualities you would like your caregiver to possess.
Some of the items on your list may be essential qualifications, while others may be negotiable, but you can be the judge of that. A list will give you a better idea of what is most important to you.
Mom super-vision
Use your mom eyes to pay attention to detail while visiting the facility. Is the home clean? How does the caregiver treat the children?
