Studies have shown that in
84% of families with two parents, both work; for single parent homes, the
statistics are higher. Moreover, 45% of children under the
age of one year are in childcare while the numbers rise to 62% of all
children six years old and younger.

The Anxious Parents’ Guide to
Quality Childcare offers
realistic step-by-step advice to help parents seeking to make
one of the
most important choices for their child: the caregiver and the childcare
arrangement. The book guides the parent through each step of the search
process, starting with how to decide what type of person and arrangement
is best suited to their needs; how to conduct an effective search; and
finally, how to establish and maintain a constructive and productive
relationship with the caregiver.
Michelle Ehrich,
the author, is a working mother
of two boys.
She worked in banking and investment banking for sixteen years, seven of
which as a working parent. During that time, she was able to find and keep
two high-quality and loving caregivers for her children, first in a family
day-care arrangement and then with a live-in nanny. Moreover, both were
productive long-term arrangements. When Ehrich realized that many of her
friends and colleagues were having considerable difficulty with their own
childcare situations, it led her to examine the reasons for the successes
that she and others did have, as well as the possible causes for her
friends' problems. The result of this process is
The Anxious Parents'
Guide to Quality Childcare.
