When you hired a caregiver or sent your kids to daycare/preschool for the first time, what was your main concern? I worried mostly about my daughter getting sick at daycare too often, but someone mentioned she was stressed out that her daughter might like the caregivers more than her as a mom. It never crossed my mind. What did you worry about?

i
worried
about
how
they
would
treat
her.
i
think
we've
all
seen
those
hidden
camera
nightmares
with
kids
and
their
caregiver!
my
daughter
was
10
mo.
old
when
i
started
looking
for
a
caregiver.
my
sister's
neighbor
is
a
sahm
who
has
a
heart
of
gold
so
i
have
been
very
fortunate.
in
the
back
of
my
mind
though
i
was
still
concerned
about
what
went
on
throughout
the
day...
i
think
sometimes
watching
new
stories
makes
me
a
bit
cynical...
any
way
my
daughter
has
always
been
happy
and
by
the
time
she
was
3
i
decided
to
put
her
in
a
daycare/preschool
to
help
her
adjust
to
a
classroom
setting
so
by
then
she
was
able
to
talk
and
she
was
ready
to
be
in
that
social
environment

I
returned
to
work
when
my
daughter
was
3mo
old.
I
hired
my
caregiver
because
we
shared
similar
values,
I
was
adament
about
breastfeeding
exclusively
the
first
6
months
and
trusted
that
she
wouldn't
sneak
anything
behind
my
back.
She
was
extremely
reliable,
has
a
strong
work
ethic
and
loves
children.
She
loves
my
daughter
and
I
feel
very
lucky
to
have
her.
She
is
less
than
5
minutes
away
from
my
job
and
I
get
to
see
my
child
during
my
lunch
break.
I
know
her
family
well
and
I
believe
that
I
am
learning
a
lot
from
her
about
parenting.

When
my
son
was
a
baby,
I
think
the
trustworthiness
of
the
daycare
provider(s)
was
my
top
concern,
since
I
was
basically
going
with
strangers
and
he
was
so
vulnerable
b/c
of
his
age.
I
do
not
have
family
in
the
area,
nor
did
I
really
have
personal
referrals
to
go
on
for
local
daycare.
AFter
careful
research,
we
ended
up
with
a
homecare
provider
who
took
up
to
6
kids
in
her
home,
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that,
years
later,
she
is
basically
a
member
of
the
family.
I
love
her
to
death
and
am
very
grateful
for
the
love
she
showed
my
son.
Now
that
my
son
is
older,
he's
better
able
to
take
care
of
himself
and
I
have
no
problem
with
him
being
at
a
larger
daycare
center.

Paula.
