All Things Childcare

As a parent, we typically think of childcare as no longer an issue when the kids hit Kindergarten, but choosing childcare is a dilemma that extends ALL the way through raising your kids. IT DOES NOT STOP! From infant childcare, preschool, before/after care, summer camps, rides for older children, it just comes in a different form of "childcare". 

Imagine being able to learn about all your childcare options in one guide, so that you can make a decision that allows your family to thrive. I had the pleasure of interviewing childcare specialist Shannon Parola who did just that! 

Shannon's guide gives families an unbelievable 45 page guide on everything you could ever possibly wanna know about choosing childcare. 

  • Nanny vs. Au pair

  • Daycare vs. Nanny

  • What red flags to look out for

  • How to background check care providers

  • How to hire a babysitter

  • Nanny vs. babysitter
