Making the decision to stay at home with your baby so you could breastfeed and nurture your little one is highly admirable. Now that your baby is a toddler, you may be interested in going back to the workforce. Many mothers do simply to be able to afford the costs of raising a child, which is alarmingly high. In fact, according to CNN, it cost $233,610 to raise one child in 2015.
I have always been the kind of mom who wants to stay home with her kids, but after we purchased a home, I realized that was not going to happen. We simply couldn't afford for me to stay home full time, and I knew that I needed to find a different way to support our family. I was able to find a great job doing what I loved, and it was incredible to get out in public and start working with adults again. To care for my kids, I started looking into child care. It was a little bit of a learning curve understanding the process, so I made this blog totally dedicated to child care.
