It's springtime and everything is blooming. This is a time of new beginnings. Not only is mother nature bringing us miracles every day like flowers, tiny baby birds and cute baby deer, but moms and dads are experiencing the special joy of parenthood. There is nothing more exciting than brining a new life home. In this day and age women are becoming much more independent.
Many mothers have to work to help support their families since the cost of living has risen.
This places more pressure on families. Women have chosen to become mothers later in life when they are often farther along in their careers. Motherhood becomes even harder to juggle as they advance in the workforce. All too often women take a few months off to have children and then place their newborns in the arms of a caregiver. As the owner and director of a mom and tot program in Sandy Hook called Mr. Turtle's School, I have met and assisted many nannies and caregivers.
