How to Find Childcare that Suits You

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Finding childcare is always stressful, no matter what your circumstances. So, any way to make this daunting task a bit easier is very welcome, particularly if it is affordable!

Mother of three, Georgiana Walsh, has recently written a book to tackle this subject called How to Find Childcare You Will Love

childcare

Individual chapters are dedicated to each type of childcare with simple tables and guides to make deciding what is right for a family as easy as possible. Inside you will find:
- Examples of questions to ask each type of childcare to help find the right one for your family.
- Advice for parents who have children with special needs.
- Tips for settling a child in with their childcare and for working well with them to ensure a lasting and happy childcare solution.
- Safety and developmental advice to help parents and childcarers work at making sure your child is safe, happy and thriving.
- A guide to changing needs to help parents make the right childcare decisions over the years.
- A chapter to help parents look at your own needs and feelings, towards both parenting and childcare; a family is not happy unless everyone within it is.

I am pleased to be able to offer readers a 25% discount on a copy of the book (or any NannySuccess.com product) – just enter the code NB2 at NannySuccess.com checkout :)
