My First Steps Infant Care

Jeanette is a wonderful care-​provider whom we felt so privileged to have found for caring for our first child. We were nervous parents only wanting the best care while we were away at our jobs (who doesn’t) and she did an amazing a job with not only helping us to raise our child, but in supporting us as first time parents. Her communication was open and plentiful. Even though we didn’t spend the majority of the day with our son we knew what he was doing, how he was eating/​toileting, his behaviors of concern etc. He has moved onto preschool and while I believe we’ve found a great place, we very much miss Jeanette and how she provided an intimate, loving environment for my son to build healthy attachments. The other thing we appreciated about Jeanette was her attention to all of the children’s development, offering testing and feedback about areas of excellence and growth. She was open to our baby wearing, cloth diapering and baby led weaning, no TV, lots of activities and outside play parenting approaches and I always felt we were on a collaborative team with our parenting decisions.
My only thing that was difficult, and it really was my issue not hers, was that she closes at 4:30pm. It obviously didn’t stop us from using her for 2.5 years and making it work in our schedules, but this is a consideration to take into account if a 4:30pm pick up is going to be difficult for you. I hope you find the best care for you child and know that they couldn’t be in better hands!
