Dearest Julie,

I was a home childcare provider for 12 years. If I can offer any assistance please, please let me know. I am sorry you had this disturbing experience. Please know that you can never, ever be too careful or concerned about your child, but keep the faith not all childcare providers are bad. I can send you some ideas of what to look for in a childcare situation and some good questions to ask if you wish.

MM
