I think it can be great for both kids and parents. I wouldn't hesitate putting my son back in daycare if our current "day sitter" situation doesn't work out. I would just go into it a lot more prepared. I would advise you to interview several center directors and ask lots of questions. Don't be afraid to ask about turnover rates and about the structure that your child would have there. Also, once your child is in care, don't hesitate to ask a lot of questions of the teachers and the director. Stay involved and don't be afraid to speak up if you're not happy with something. Don't be afraid of them "not liking you". Just be your child's advocate. I think you'll be amazed at how social your child can become and how much she will learn! <br /><br />Thanks again for visiting my blog!punkinmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739816492609345579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914555589954926032.post-20200776872167910182009-04-06T23:34:00.000-04:002009-04-06T23:34:00.000-04:00I am sorry to hear the daycare didn't work out. I...I am sorry to hear the daycare didn't work out. I myself want to put my daughter into daycare but am a bit intimidated about it. It sounds like you have someone you know and trust taking care of him and the fact he trusted her enough to eat a grilled cheese sandwich is BIG. Seriously, it is big. It's difficult to get kids to try new things. I wish you luck with all of it. <BR/><BR/>You wanted to know if we have any suggestions as to what to call the nanny. My friend calls her a "day sitter," because she takes care of her during the days. I don't know if that might work for ya ; ) <BR/><BR/>Great luck and I hope it all works out! Oh and thank you so much for leaving a comment on my blog post about forgiveness. : ) Have a great one!Adrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143069585880858513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914555589954926032.post-61271605981493346902009-04-06T15:16:00.000-04:002009-04-06T15:16:00.000-04:00Oh I hope it works out for you!

We ended up at "Miss Kim's" house. I don't know that we called her a babysitter, or a caregiver, or a teacher or a nanny, even though she probably was all of those things. She was "Miss Kim." :-)emshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930035974431027909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914555589954926032.post-57806614683424707602009-03-31T23:27:00.000-04:002009-03-31T23:27:00.000-04:00That sounds like a great plan!
