I think one of the hardest parts about this entire process is figuring out daycare options. I mean – let’s take about pressure!! You are looking, searching, researching, discussing for and with the person that you are entrusting the most important thing in your life…your child! And you are doing it way before your child is even here, so who’s to say what she will need, or what type of will baby she will be or if you won’t totally chance your mind once she arrives.
Couple that with trying to keep an open mind, finding a person who you both trust and can afford – let’s be honest – it’s not cheap, and someone that is flexible enough for the schedule you think or hope to have once you finally go back to work.
There is a part of me that is slightly envious of moms that are able to stay home with their children – they are able to forego this process because they know their child will be in the best of hands…theirs. There is also a big part of me that is envious of those people who live close to their family and said families are able to help out with the childcare options.
But, neither of these are situations that Mike and I find ourselves in – so we search on!
Wish us luck as we search for in home daycare options, nannies and organized daycare.
