No disrespect meant to all the wonderful childminders/childcarers out there but I just feel so nervous about leaving my little boy. He is two and a half and I have never left him with anyone but family before. I go to Uni two days a week and my mum has been looking after him so far and although she protests, she is not that well at the minute and I think he is getting too much for her, she is only in her late 40's but she had a bad illness recently and it's left her drained, but anyway I don't burden her with childcare duties at the minute (I do pay her by the way, even though she protests about that too) and Im considering a child minder but I just feel so nervous to leave him, how can I be sure he will be completely safe? my friend used a child minder who had great references but her little girl kept coming home with bruises and being withdrawn and it turned out to be the child minde hitting her!! I can't stand the thought of it happening to my little one, Im pretty torn.
