Choosing the right daycare or babysitter for your baby is a major decision, as it will affect your child's well-being and development. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:

  • Do your research: Ask for recommendations from friends, family, and pediatricians. Research online for licensed and accredited daycares and babysitters.
  • Check their credentials: Check their background, licenses, certifications, and references. Ask for proof of first-aid and CPR training.
  • Visit the daycare or babysitter: Observe how the caregiver interacts with children. Check if the environment is clean and safe.
  • Ask about policies: Ask about the daycare or babysitter's policies on discipline, nutrition, hygiene, and emergency situations.
  • Trust your instincts: Trust your gut feeling. If something doesn't feel right, consider other options.
