Caring for grandchild

I can understand how you are feeling in regards caring for a little one! After my injury I cared for two babies a few days each week and having to work out the safest way of doing it was upmost in my mind.I found it easiest to place the cot/playpen close to my armchair helped as I could stand pick up baby and sit immediately after,as baby here to know your way of doing it they adapt very quickly to this. I know it seems daunting at first but I tried different ways when my daughter/son visited until a safe method was used while they were with me, then I felt more confident when I was alone. It was the best thing I did as it gave me a sense of worth again as well as saving on childcare fees. Grandchildren are such a blessing.
