I am starting to believe one of the most challenging things about having a child is finding childcare! 😩 Seriously... being a first time mom or not the stress is real. In the beginning when I was pregnant, my husband and I worked opposite shifts to where we were not planning on outside care. Then I had the opportunity for a job change and then bounced baby around family until I found the perfect childcare person. She is absolutely amazing and very familiar with my husbands family. She treats my son like her grand baby, in which I couldn’t ask for kinder person. Unfortunately (and unexpectedly), things happen in life and she will be moving 3 hours away! 😥 Totally broke my heart when she told me, but I get it... Now I am trying to find another but I need to be comfortable with them. I know I shouldn’t be too picky but I need to be able to go to work and not worry.. Maybe if baby was a bit older more like a toddler I may feel better but he is still under 1 year and at the stage where he will literally crawl to get into everything! 😅 I just want the best for him and something we can afford... I am just so frustrated and anxious with this situation and needed to say something about it.

Does anyone else relate to the childcare stress?
