Publisher's Synopsis
Addressing the problem of child-care for working parents in Britain, this book informs readers of the full spectrum of possibilities, including live-in and part-time nannies, child-minders and au pairs, creches, and state and private nurseries. The emphasis is on the psychological and emotional implications of each form of caring on the parents, the carers and, above all, the growing child. The book includes practical information on topics such as looking for a nanny, the interview, the contract, and comparing costs.
