I feel so guilty when i leave her.?

I have stayed at home with my daughter since the day she was born, but due to financial reasons, I have had to get a job. Every time leave her with a sitter, they tell me she asks for me the whole time. I feel so guilty leaving her, I am considering quitting my job, and getting a job where I can bring her, Like at a daycare or something. Please help me! I can't handle this guilt!

I recently started working also and I feel guilty about leaving my kids. I am lucky enough that they are with their father when I'm gone but I still feel awful especially when I have to come home and put them to bed or they are already in bed because of school. It's just something that has to be done though. As she gets older she will understand. Just try to spend as much time with her as possible when you are home or set aside a special day for just you and her. You can go to the movies, rent movies and order pizza, paint nails, do each others hair, play dress up, play board games, draw and color together or let her choose what she wants to do. Maybe a day in the park, at the zoo or another special place. Knowledge of business and finance, please go to pregnancy

Getting a job where you can take her is a great idea but that is hard to find. She may not meet the specific requirements at some daycare centers. At home daycare or babysitting would be good if it is for you. A job at a gym in the kids area or other public place for kids. Eventually, she will have to get used to being without you though. Good luck.

Don't feel guilty about having to work. Sometimes you do what you have to do. In the long run, your daughter will understand that you had to go back to work to support your family.

A day-home is one option. I am a care provider in a day-home that I run from my home. If you are interested in running a day-home, here a few things that you should consider are:

Do you have the patience to care for other peoples children? These children may not listen, they may be rude to you? They may hit/bite/push your child.
Do you have adequate space for a day-home in your house? Check out local bylaws for day-home requirements. pregnancy question and answers
Do you have activities that will interest children, who vary in different ages?

Running your own day-home is not a business where you make lots of money. Usually you end up breaking even. It can be very rewarding in many ways, but also very frustrating. I suggest that if you are going to do this, to seriously think about whether or not this is right for you. Don't do it because you feel guilty, do it because you want to.

Did you ever think of starting an in home daycare of your own? I know it is not for everyone but if you think you would like it then it may be a good option because you get to choose your own hours and stay at home all the time while still making money. Just an idea :)

Experience

dont stay with your child all the time. she'll become clingy and dependent. what, when its time for kindergarten, are you going to find a job at the school?
