…You knew you loved your child the moment you held her in your arms. Or maybe you knew when you first saw the double lines on the at-home prego test. Either way, your child has become your universe. You’ve had his puke, tears and poo on your finest clothes and barely batted an eye. You’ve rocked, soothed, shushed and cuddled until you could literally see the adoration oozing from your pores. Your conversations and Facebook updates are all about him. Yes, he’s become as important to you as your beating heart — and now you have to go back to work.
Everyone talks about work/life balance, but it’s the stress of trying to set up reliable child care that can really set the stage for the new juggling act you’re about to know and love. When you’re returning to work and trying to figure out who will watch your child, the options can be overwhelming. It’s hard enough to mentally and logistically prepare for a new job of being a parent, but add in fears, emotions (um, hormones), financial factors and time constraints and it seems like finding the right child care is the toughest and most important job in the world.
