Introduction
Maria had an instant connection with her childminder Ania. “From the start, she knew how to comfort me and ease my mind by sending photos of Izabela.”
Maria (parent):
“I think it is important that Izabela meets other kids and learns to play with them. But I thought a daycare center was too big so I searched for a childminder. I really liked Ania from the start.”
Maria (parent):
“The first few weeks, Izabela cried a lot. I felt really guilty, because I thought I just dumped my crying kid at someone else’s place for her to deal with. But Ania handled it really well. She comforted me as well as my daughter, sent me messages about how it was going, and sent me photos of Izabela. She’s actually still doing that; I really like that.”
Ania (childminder):
“Maria and I have a great bond, we can tell each other everything. Izabela is really great too. I can see that she likes having other kids around to play with. Every time Izabela enters a new phase of life, we can discuss it really well and talk about how we’ll handle it. Last week, I received a video from Maria, showing that Izabela started to walk at home. We were both cheering for Izabela !”
