I dont trust anyone with him now?

Question

My 3 year old son wetn 2 daycare and was ignored the whole time. the teacher left him in "his box"the whole day(the box is a big block like thing) i pulled him out of that daycare and found a babysitter. he went 2 the babysitter one day and i couldnt do it. i was at work 10 minutes and couldnt do it and went and got him. i know im stupid but i cant leave him with anybody. we've neverhad good luck with babysitters. hes got hit by one. had 2 get stitches because of one not watching him. almost got hit by a car 3 times cause of babysitters not watching him. its hard 2 trust anybody now. how do i take him 2 the babysitters tomorrow and not worry about it the whole time and give in and have 2 go get him

Answer 1

I don't think that it is stupid. my son has never even been babysitted by anybody but my family. Even though they are very good daycares and possibly good babysitters. i have never felt comfortable with nobody but my family to watch him.It is going to take time with all the bad things that has happen. i would give it a few more times. have them come to your home and set up nanny cams or get a nanny from an agency.

Answer 2

i understnad exactly what you mean. i am a pediatric nurse practitioner, but i am not practising right now, because i have a two year old and a one year old. i don't trust anyone with my children. my husband and i have made the effort to cut back severly on our budget so that i am able to stay home. i mean, in the long run...if we miss a few dinners out, or movies or don't buy such expensive stuff all the time, but we can lay in bed at night knowing exactly what happend with our kids today..then it's well worth it! don't take him, stay home with him and work from home, or try cutting back so you don't have to work!

Answer 3

You need to trust your sitters. Or have better judgment in choosing them. I have never had an issue with a sitter although we usually hire a nanny and never need anyone full time. Good luck!

Answer 4

Sounds like you need to do more investigating before hiring a sitter. Ask about referrals. Your pediatrician, someone from work, someone from church, etc. Somebody HAS to have kids that you know and should be able to recommend a GOOD sitter. Also use your gut instinct. If you sense something is bad there then it probably is.

I know a lot of day cares have cameras installed in the rooms so the parents can go online and watch in on their child during the day. Also a lot have an "open door" policy when the parent can stop in during the day, no matter the time, to check up on their child.

Answer 5

The day care centre left him in a box all day??  My God I hope you reported them.  

You seem to be making very poor choices with your sitters.  either that or I wonder if your child is difficult to cope with.  He had to have stitches for what?  He nearly got hit by a car on three separate occasions?  I think you need to look at the behaviour of your child, rather than the competence of the sitters.  Is he very active?  Does he follow instruction?  Does he understand 'No'?    I wonder if he has ADD or ADHD or something.  Is he well behaved with you?  Maybe he is playing up for the sitters because he is missing you.  I do find it hard to believe that day care and many sitters are all so bad and think you need to think objectively.  Or talk to someone who can be objective with you about your son's behaviour.  My friend had the same problem with her son.  turned out he has Aspergers (an autistic spectrum disorder).

Answer 6

KNOW THE PARENTS! if they have first honors they are smart and ask their parents if they are responsible and trust worthy.
