To the Caregiver Who Looks After My Child While I Work

I have never doubted my choice to return to work after the birth of my son. From the outset, I realized that being a stay-at-home mother wasn’t the right fit for me. However, the thought of entrusting my child to someone else filled me with anxiety. Would they genuinely care for him? Would they nurture his sensitive nature? Would they recognize his unique personality?

My worries were countless: What about his meals? Would he be limited to hot dogs and ramen? Would he have the chance to play outside? Would he make friends? Would he spend his days crying until I returned? Would I?

Then I found you.

In a moment of desperation, I reached out to you, feeling as though I had exhausted all my options for childcare. I shared my concerns and asked you countless questions. To my relief, within the first ten minutes of our conversation, I felt a wave of calm wash over me—a sensation I hadn’t experienced in months. I knew then that you were someone exceptional.

My son took to you instantly—your warmth and smile drew him in. The bond that has developed since that initial call has been a source of immense comfort for me as a working mom. If I can’t be there during the day, I am truly grateful to know he’s in the care of someone I trust implicitly.

Thank you for greeting my son with a hug every morning, genuinely excited to see him. At the end of the day, you share the joy I would feel in recounting the funny things he said or the mischief he got into with his friends.

I appreciate the loving, structured environment you’ve created in your home—exactly what I hoped to find. Each day, you have something planned, whether it’s a fun craft or an outdoor adventure. Your home is clean and organized yet remains a space where children can be themselves—exploring and creating freely.

I am grateful that you pay as much attention to his meals as I do. There’s no sign of hot dogs or mac and cheese (except for the occasional treat, of course!).

He looks up to you and cherishes your kids. The friends he has made in your care are his closest companions. He worries about them when they’re unwell and eagerly anticipates Mondays when he can see them again.

Thank you for gently guiding him when he makes mistakes, for comforting him when he falls, for finding humor in everyday moments, and for welcoming him into your home.

You’ve often told me that my son feels like part of your family. Please know that you are part of ours as well. I have never once doubted that he is thriving under your care while I’m at work. I’m profoundly thankful that you’ve alleviated one of my biggest worries in this challenging world of parenting.

You have given me the greatest gift—peace of mind. For that, I cannot thank you enough.
