Daycare and Covid

Hi Mamas!

I don’t normally post but it looks like my 4 month old is going to have to go to daycare soon and I’m NERVOUS. I’ve been back at work part time and my mom is watching her but she won’t be able to starting in March. So my options will be daycare or quitting my job and staying home.

Financially, we can afford for me to stay home if that’s what I choose but I’ve never really wanted to be a stay at home mom. I LOVE my job. But since my daughter was born, the thought of sending her to a daycare where she isn’t getting one on one snuggles and care just makes me cry!! Plus I’m worried about covid!! I’ve never been a germaphobe but covid worries me.

What should I do, mamas? Stay home with my girl and lose the job I love or get over my fears and send her to daycare 3 days a week?
