Editorial Reviews

Product Description

One of the most difficult decisions a parent must make is who is going to watch his or her child while they are at work. Childcare can be a tricky decision.

€ Do you work with an au pair agency? € Do you select an in-home sitter? € Do you drop your child off at a well-known daycare center? € How do you know the child care provider is trustworthy?

This book covers everything from background checks to creating contracts with the daycare provider. It also covers precautions such as checking the safety of the building in which the child care is provided (fire codes, smoke alarms, insurance, liability, etc.). Checklists for comparison of facilities and other types of childcare are also included for easy use.

Additional appendices are included with valuable resources and websites to assist the reader in finding the information he or she needs.

The Childcare Answer Book is a straightforward, easy-to-use guide written especially for parents confronting a wide array of childcare choices. Chapters discuss how to calculate a cost/benefit analysis, various childcare alternatives from preschools and day care centers to nannies, au pairs and babysitters, how to evaluate out-of-home care, employment issues for hiring childcare professionals, helping one's child adjust, how to handle difficulties in childcare relationships including harmful or abusive situations, specific issues for special needs children or work-at-home parents, and much more. Appendices provide lists of references concerning state childcare licensing offices, child care resource and referral agencies, websites, and sample forms. An index for quick and easy reference rounds out this plain-terms practical guide, highly recommended for parents everywhere.
