One of the most stressful aspects of being a parent is choosing childcare. There are so many options, all of which have their benefits and drawbacks. Stay-at-home or Working? Live-in or Live-out? In-home or Daycare? To schlep or not to schelp? Maybe Grandma can help?
Choosing the right childcare option for your family is an intensely personal decision and not something that can be explained in one blog post. But here are come resources that can help you begin to figure out the best options for you:
- Babycenter.com has a whole section on childcare basics covering everything from relatives watching your child to choosing a home-based daycare center.
- Au Pair Buzz is Cultural Care Au Pair's Blog for Parents, and has great advice for parents choosing in-home care. Top Seven Concerns about Live-in Nannies and Au Pairs is a recent post
- Childcareaware.org - has some great advice on choosing a daycare center for your child.
