Child Care

It can be difficult to leave your baby to go back to work. Here are some tips for finding a safe and happy place or person to care for your baby when you’re away.
First Thing First
This transition often comes with a lot of questions and often a lot of worries. It’s helpful to keep in mind that you are not alone. So many mothers and fathers return to work after their babies are born.
And remember, the transition back to work will be harder on you than on your baby. Your baby is not worried about this. They know you will choose the best child care option for them, and they will be happy there! And, at the end of each day, they will always have your loving arms to come home to and continue that secure and comforting attachment.
