All Parents are Working Parents

When my daughter was 3, our babysitter decided to return to her corporate job, leaving us with 2 weeks to find a new sitter. God quickly opened the door to a new sitter where my daughter made friends who would be with her all the years of elementary school. 

Working parents face tough decisions when it comes to child care. Grandparents or other relatives often help out. Daycare is another option. However, even when kids start school, parents are not freed from the childcare dilemma, often seeking quality care for the time before or after school.

To meet this growing need for afterschool care, many Alabama Baptist churches are opening their doors to students and providing a much-needed ministry to their communities. But in many communities, there are no few if any good options for kids and their parents. 

What has been your most significant daycare dilemma? Was it while your kids were preschool aged or have the challenges increased as they've gotten older? Has your church or another church in your community helped your family? I would love to hear your story.

    About Me

    I am a regular contributor to The Alabama Baptist newspaper, and I also write and edit for several religious, business and educational outlets through my business, McWhorter Media and Marketing. 

    One of the greatest privileges of being a writer is the opportunity to share the stories of others with a larger audience. I love to do that! 


    Sharing my own stories is much more challenging, though no less important to making sense of the challenges of Faith and Family in everyday life.

    Thanks for joining me on this journey! Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or suggestions.
