Leaving my child with you

 Leaving my child with you is like handing you my heart outside of my body. It is trust on a level that feels almost physical. I don’t make the decision to leave my child with anybody lightly. I think about their safety. Their comfort. Their little routines. The way they look for me when something feels off.

If I choose you, it is because I see the way you care. I see the gentleness. I see the patience. I see that you understand they are not just another kid to watch. They are my whole world in a tiny body.

So please know that when I drop them off, it is never casual. It is never easy. It is a piece of me staying with you. And I’m trusting you to treat them with the same softness I do.
