Daycare help?

Question

I have quit my job and decided to pull my child out of daycare. I would like to write my son's sitter a letter telling her how much her help and love for my son has been invaluable to us. I just can't seem to find the words to express my deep gratitude. Any suggestions? She has cared for him like her own for quite a few years now.

Thanks

You could send her an "invitation" from your son, inviting her to a "date" every other weekend, or something similar. This let's her know you still want her to be a part of your son's life (assuming you do). She would probably be really happy to know that she will see him again. I have thought about moving many times and the only thing that stops me is taking me kids out of their daycare lol. I have also worked in a daycare, and you really do fall in love with the children. You could start a photo album for her with pictures of your son (or even better- the two of them) and write inside that there are still so many memories left for them to make together. I'm sure any kind of card or letter that's from the heart will be appreciated. Good luck!

personally i think u should tell her in person. sometimes things sound better with certain tone of voice, and it would mean a lot to her. just tell her how u feel. give a few examples on how much she has helped u, and tell her what your son has said about how much he has enjoyed her. i babysit a lot and it really makes me feel important and loved whn the mother of the child i babysit says sweet things or wishes i was somewhere with the child.  it also makles my day whn the mother tells me how much she appreciates me. it makes me want to come back and help her more.  hope that helps!

It takes a village to raise a child.  In today's fast paced world we seem (NOT Meaning to) Put as much time into our children! Your sister seems to be a real blessing and that in itself is a real miracle. I raised my girls (with no help from family or friends)! Which was extremely difficult so My suggestion is to let her know (FROM the heart) that she is so totally appreciated and that you don't take any of her help for granted! Do something nice for her just for no reason at all! Actions say more than words do.  If you don't have the money, Weed her garden (without her knowing) or bake something that she loves and set it up for her family etc. be creative these are just examples!  Words are good but actions are always much better!
