Concerned Mother: Do You Know Where Your Child Is?
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 naďve (like many) thinking that sending my child to an experienced mother of many was surely a good place for him...

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.
