Child care is a major concern if you are planning to go back to work after your baby is born. Your childcare provider will be spending a lot of time with your child, so it is critical that you be comfortable with the environment and the style of care your child will be receiving. Spend some time evaluating each option, so that you can make the choice that best suits your needs.
The first option is in-home child care, meaning a sitter, or nanny who comes to your home to watch the child. This is by far the most expensive option, but it has many advantages. The main disadvantage is that you have no real backup if your nanny gets sick or wants to take vacation. The second option is a small home daycare, meaning you find someone who will keep your child in her home, perhaps with her own children or one or two others.
The third option is a traditional daycare center. Traditional daycares are affordable, and there is no need to worry about a caretaker getting sick or wanting to take vacation. Choosing your baby childcare arrangement is one of the most important decisions you will make. Its critical not only to your child well being, but to your own piece of mind.
