One of the most difficult aspects of working parenthood is deciding on child care for your kids. Can you afford to stay home? Hire a nanny? An au pair? What about sharing a baby sitter? If you're looking at daycare, do you go with a preschool-like center or a less formal home-care situation?
Over at Work It, Mom!, I've been writing and editing a great Essentials Guide to Child Care, pulling together links to all of the site's great articles, blog posts, checklists, and quick tips about day care, nannies, pre-schools, and more. In doing so, I've had a chance to do a lot of research and writing (as the "Work It, Mom! Team," of course); if you're looking for answers -- or, for that matter, for questions to ask -- these three pieces are a good start:
Nanny Interview Questions
Evaluating Daycares and Preschools
Mama Drama: Kryptonite for Working Moms
The Juggle: Childcare edition
