The first days of having a new child daycare provider in your home can be stressful. To make this process go as smooth as possible, make sure you stay in the right mood. Being positive and motivating to both the provider and to your children is essential. In addition, make sure that the kids know you will back up their provider which will give them authority. Finally, enjoy some activities together, as a family with the provider so they can see that you accept the provider too.

When you are hiring a child daycare provider, do not feel bad about telling some of them no. It should take you several interviews and several days to find the right person. You need to feel completely comfortable with them. If you are having trouble finding the right one, consider looking for out of the norm providers.

Is there a perfect child daycare provider? While many will make small mistakes, those that make large ones or make many of them, are not the right people to go to. If you can't know what type of person you are interviewing, pick up the phone and call their references with a few questions. Ask them how particular situations were handled. Don't be afraid to ask past references questions.
