I am thankful that Hashem gives me the opportunity (and strength) to watch my baby grandson half-days while my daughter works as an OT. I get to spend quality time with him every day, and she is able to be with him for the rest of the day. It’s a really great arrangement, and my yingeleh gets to “daven” with me, and already recognizes when I sing Modeh Ani and Torah Torah to him. He quiets down when I say Shma. This, you cannot get from a non-Jewish babysitter. It really is a pity that so many small and impressionable frum children are not being exposed to what their own mommies would be doing with them, simply because the caregiver is incapable of Yiddishe taam.
