My name is Tela and I am a mother of 2 wonderful girls, preschooler Britton (2 1/2) and newborn Laurel (1 month). When I found out I was pregnant with Britton, I started reading every pregnancy and child care resource I could get my hands on to prepare for her arrival. Since then, every question I have related to raising my children brings me to a bookstore, library or the internet to research. At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information available to parents and it surprised me how much the opinions varied. After years of absorbing countless opinions on various child care topics and listening to friends and family on their child rearing philosophies and challenges, I decided to develop this website to combine the various parenting resources with real life experience. I hope to help both new and experienced parents by filtering the various parenting resources and provide what I feel is the most pertinent and reliable information.

I have to credit the site Thesaurus.com for inspiring the name babyminding, which as I discovered in my search is synonymous with child care.

As this is only the introduction, I will be introducing the first topic soon. In the meantime, feel free to post your comments with any questions/suggestions you may have on what you would like to know or discuss. The goal of this website it to become the ultimate child care resource for discerning parents and the only way to achieve that is with the feedback and participation of parents like you!

Thank you for visiting and please come again soon!
