I am so happy I haven't ahd to put my children in childcare or daycare and have someone else caring and supervising them.
Yes, I would always be nervous about what happens during the time away from my children.
I know that is how I felt, you never know what happens when nannies, babysitters, teachers or other providers are taking care of your children
Actual references from close friends would be the only way I would go with a babysitter
I would definitely be more inclined to go that route when choosing the perfect care giver for my kids. I would feel even better using an extended family member of my child
