scared to death about leaving my daughter with child minder

The horror stories Ive heard I just cant take the risk. She screams at the site of me leaving the room and shes just so sweet I cant even think of someone not treating her right. I cant stand the thought of how she would feel if she was treated bad and the guilt I would feel.

On top of that people around me tell me that I am being selfish and that she will have to suffer just because I want to go back to uni.. Any other daycare

mommys out there? Any moms with advice???

its natural for baby n mother both to feel separation anxiety ......n dear wats selfish abt going back to work or uni ?those ppl are crazy ...i didnt work,i was just studying at home n i sent her to preschool ......i suggest spend a day or two with both of them let the baby get acquainted n then next day or so let nanny do all the work n u just sit back n observe n get some nanny cams .......its not easy to leave the child even for an hr but eventually ull have to send her to school so be brave n it'll all get better in 2 weeks- a month.how old is she?
