Concerned Mother: Do You Know Where Your Child Is?

From the Inbox: A letter from concerned mother with child care tips.

As a working mother (I would love to stay home but unfortunately there are bills to pay) I am faced with the challenge of finding an appropriate babysitter for my child(ren). In my quest to find a loving, caring, devoted woman to care for my child while I am away-and my experience using some has left me with a haunting question. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS? I started off naïve (like many) thinking that sending my child to an experienced mother of many was surely a good place for him…

For a woman to open a babysitting service in her home takes little or no effort at all. The place is rent free and she takes out her own childrens toys. Many are warm and caring but there are many that do it for the money alone and don’t have your child’s best interest at heart. I am happy to say that my child is (now B’h) by an incredible woman whom he lovingly calls ‘Bubby’ but here are some things that I personally saw and heard from other mothers.
