Once I learned that I was pregnant, many difficult decisions had begun.当我得知怀孕,许多艰难的决定,也已经开始. One of the most important decisions and tasks I would be facing is finding the right childcare providers.其中最重要的决定和任务,我将面对的是找到正确的育儿提供商. I hated the idea that I was going to be returning to work when my child would be only 12 weeks old so I knew that I would have to find a place that impressed me beyond belief.我最恨的想法,我将要返回工作岗位时,我的孩子也只有12周老让我知道我要找到一个印象是难以置信的. The amount of childcare providers in our local phonebook was intimidating, I will admit.金额育儿供应本地电话簿被恐吓,我会承认. I narrowed it down to about ten places that were within 20 minutes of my house and started the quest of making phone calls and setting up appointments to visit.我缩小它降到了约10个名额,分别在20分钟内我的家,开始追求打出的电话,并设立任命访问. Besides looking at childcare centers, I was also considering private childcare providers that were licensed for in their homes.除了从托儿中心,我也在考虑私人的托儿服务提供者的执照家园. I wasn't as keen on that concept but knew that it would be more cost efficient and owed it to my child to check into every possible scenario.我还没有那么热衷于这个概念,但他知道它会更符合成本效益,而欠它我的孩子,检查到每一个可能发生的情况. The very first center that I visited was a franchise and I almost walked right back out.最初的中心,我参观了专利权和我差不多走右背出. I was greeted by a screaming toddler who deemed it necessary to scream nonstop for several moments.我迎接他的惨叫淘气的人认为有必要大惊小怪连环数的时刻. I could not understand why no one seemed concerned about this or encouraged him to lower the volume of his screaming.我不明白为什么没有人好象关心或鼓励他为低量,他惨叫. In fact, most of the employees didn't seem very interested in the children.事实上,大部分的员工似乎并不十分感兴趣的儿童. I cut my appointment short and crossed them off of the list.我将我的任命短期和划线入侵者的名单. Within a week, two more childcare providers managed to get themselves taken off of my list as well.在一个星期内,两名托儿机构管理,作好起飞的名单等. A few more on my list seemed promising but the tuition costs almost sent me into labor.几个名单上,似乎预示着,但学费几乎送我到劳动. How in the world do people afford some of these childcare providers?如何在世界上没有人能够负担部分这些托儿服务? It would almost be wiser for me to quit my job than pay these fees.它几乎是明智的,我辞掉工作多支付这些费用. My husband and I spent a few weeks contemplating that concept.我丈夫和我花了数个星期contemplating这个概念. Finally, after a coworker of his passed along his stepmother's name, I called her.最后,经过coworker他的传承他的外祖父的名字,我打电话给她. We were told that she runs a small daycare out of her home and is absolutely wonderful.有人告诉我们,她就有一个小daycare出她的家,绝对是好样的. I thought that I would be the judge of that and very reluctantly called her.我还以为我是法官,且很不情愿地叫她. I had to admit that on the phone, she was very charming and personable.我不得不承认,在电话中,她非常迷人和亲切. I went to visit her the next day and watch how things went in her household.我去看望她,第二天,看一下她的家庭. The moment she let me in the front door, I got that warm and fuzzy feeling.目前她让我在大门口,我有了这温暖和模糊的感觉. She was just as darling as I could have wanted.她果然是宝贝,因为我还可以通缉. The children that she had all seemed to adore her and were well mannered.孩子是她这一切似乎都很崇拜她,都彬彬有礼. She took a great amount of time talking to me and before the end of the hour, I had made up my mind.她采取了大量的时间来跟我说,年底前一小时,我已拿定主意. There would be no more visits to overrated childcare providers.不会再前往overrated育儿提供商. I had found the perfect home away from home for my baby.我已经找到了完美远离家的孩子. With a smile on my face, I drove home and found my "to do" list.面带微笑地对我的脸,我开车回家时,发现"我要做"的名单. I took great pleasure in checking "childcare providers" off of that list.我非常高兴地盘点"托儿"提供过该清单.
