Suggest if this is good

Dear Suji

I feel if you have someone coming to your house or staying with you will be better so that your child will get more attention.See what others tell you also.

Hi suji,
I have no personal experience.What is the role of baby sitter at home?I mean you want to go out leaving your kid with her or you will also be along with her doing other activities?
i dont find any thing wrong in separate home sitter.You can enquire the other parents of the kids.

 

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. I send my child to a daycare, have sent him to a home-based daycare before. I have also used a sitter who came to my house when my child was sick/in-between daycares.

I have always preferred sending my child to a good certified caregivers home primarily because it is good for the child to be with other kids - else you are really dependent on the sitter to constantly entertain him/her. I don't see anything wrong with a home based daycare (home or apt) - personally a bigger home may be better because there is more space and it won't be crammed. Do visit the house to make sure how the area for children is, understand how the children spend their time, ask for references etc. A good professional will be able to give you more than one reference. Call them and talk to them.

 

Dear Suji

There are a few unanswered questions like are how old is your kid? Are you working/planning to start work? Why would you prefer a baby sitter over day care? Do you have time to wait? Without these questions anwered, it is difficult to offer an opinion.

I have left my son with a baby sitter in her home. She was an Indian, her home was impeccably kept, she was able to bond very well with my son( with sever stranger anxiety ) even in our first visit. These were the criterias that made us choose her. And subsequently when we left him there, she ensured he was well fed, clean and dry all the time and stimulated him as well and talked about my son's day when I picked him up. She was taking care of 3 other kids, which because of my son's age then, helped his social skills.

Good luck with your hunt....!

Hi,

I have also left my son with a baby sitter in her home ever since he was 12 months (now he is 34 months). We used to provide all the food, snacks and fruits along with milk and water for him from our house together with 4-5 diapers and 3 sets of clothes. She gave him a bath twice a day and ensured he ate his food and gave us complete report of his daily activities.

There were 4 other children a little older to him who came in the afternoon after school. So he had friends to play in the evening. Now for the last 5 days I am sending him to a nursery with day care facilities so he is there from morning till evening, just to prepare him to go to school. He is comfortable here in the new atmosphere as well.

Personally I feel this has helped my son to socialize better and exhibits better understanding when we site examples of other children and give explanations to him as to why something has to be done only that way.

Give a try for some time, if you are not completely satisfied you can always look out for someone better with whom you feel there is a good rapport.

Best Wishes,
