How to choose who will care for our child?
In the care of children may engage many people: family members (such as grandparents), the nurse, nurses, occasional babysitter, and so on. Ideally, we could take care of ourselves, our children all the time, to be aware of them, but the reality is not so and we often have to let other people help us, it is difficult to choose someone suitable to undertake this work as important.
In Parentheses we tell you how you can do to choose the right person to care for your children .
Choice Nanny
Many people hire a nanny , either because they prefer the comfort and individual attention that a nanny can provide, or because, with several children, may end up being cheaper than childcare. The key point to remember is that the relationship with the nanny will be very personal, and he will share with your family, your house and most of the day, but it must also be a professional relationship.
The most important criterion for hiring a nanny is that she shares your ideas and values about child rearing. This can be observed not only in a personal interview, but rather, in the interaction with your child. It is best to test one day before sealing the deal.
You should also check references and talk some issues, like what do you think of discipline?, What food?, What television?, ¿Sleep and play?, Did you ride your child, etc.? . Depends on what you’re looking at the person who will accompany your child, but openly discuss various topics will help you choose better.
We also need to know basic first aid maneuvers and talk clearly what tasks will it. At this point it is important that the nurse can devote most of the time to care and be aware of your child, because if you have to do many household chores may not be aware of anything that might happen.
If you want to put cameras to see how the nanny is your son, it is best to talk the situation beforehand, and that confidence can be seen damaged if she discovers that she is being filmed.
Choosing a day care center
Another alternative is to take your child to a day care center, which can be cheaper than a nanny can be more reliable, have no problem if the nanny gets sick or goes on vacation, but not as individualized care, because they have other children by the caregivers. The childcare you choose should be teaching values that match what you think and you know their policies on nutrition, sleep, discipline and television. You should check that the nursery is established by law and that people who work are qualified.
Family care of your child
Some people prefer family care of children, leaving them with grandparents or other relatives, allowing them a family environment at low cost. Recommended in these cases is to ensure that the environment is right to give our children, and relatives will not be neglected, avoiding accidents, since they may be doing the work from home and can not see what makes the children.
Whatever your choice, who cares for your child is doing very important work, which you should be thankful, but remember that whoever has the duty to educate your children you are and you should not blame the the other bad behaviors that do not have the authority to have you as a parent.
