Taking care of infants and children can be challenging...not everyone's good at it!
When picking your child’s caregiver, make sure they’re patient, understanding, caring and have real experience being alone with children.
If you have the slightest suspicion or doubt about your caregiver; don’t leave your child with them even for a minute!
