Parents sometimes have urgent matters that cannot be solved together with the baby, he needs to be left for a while. But not everyone has grandmothers or other relatives who will agree to sit with the child. In such cases, you have to look for unexpected solutions.
Psychologists do not advise leaving a little person one to 6 years old, he can be very scared from the absence of his mother or even do something terrible. Self-introduction should be instilled gradually, and not at a time and for several hours.
Search for acquaintances
If there are no grandmothers or they cannot come to the rescue, you need to call your friends or girlfriends. Chances are good that someone has a day off, and he will be able to sit with the baby. It is important to be very correct and create good conditions. Promise that you yourself will bring the child, that you will give him a lot of toys with you and he will not greatly distract the assistant. The older the baby, the more likely it is that someone will agree, because looking after a five-year-old child is easier than a baby.
Perhaps some pensioner lives next to you, who spends time on a bench at the entrance. Usually such women have already brought up their children and grandchildren, they know how to deal with children. Ask if she can sit with the child for several hours? Of course, it is worth promising some kind of reward for this, but this will be a good way out of their position. But here it is important to understand that you should trust only those whom you know personally and are sure of the adequacy of the person.
Nanny
Today there are various agencies that offer babysitting services. You can choose an assistant who will come to your home, or you can take your child to him. In this case, you can demand identity documents, as well as confirmation of teacher education. It is more convenient to hire a nanny through a company, since a cooperation agreement is concluded, the conditions for the provision of services are negotiated. But you need to do this in advance, and not at the moment when you need to run on business.
A nanny, according to an ad, can also help out in an urgent situation, but there is a risk of running into different people who do not always know how to find a common language with the kids. Better to reach out to people for recommendations rather than just picking on ad sites.
Child Center
Today there are children's centers where parents can leave their child for a while. Usually, the stay is limited to 4-6 hours, since this is not a kindergarten, there is no opportunity to eat and sleep. Usually, all children are divided into age groups, and educators come up with joint activities. It can be fun, educational, and safe. You can first leave the baby in the training group, and then ask the teacher to transfer to the playroom.
Children's rooms in shopping centers also help parents with placing their children. The peculiarity of this stay is that children of different ages are together, someone feels comfortable in such a company, but there are children who do not like such groups. Usually kids are trusted by animators for a couple of hours, but this time may be enough to solve important issues. But do not forget to leave your phone number so that in case of unexpected tears you can be dialed and reported about the problem.
