My poor little isaac boy....

Isaac has to go to another babysitter's house when I go to work. My mom recommended me to a **new***(not anymore!) babysitter just opposite of her house. We send him there last week and it was not a good one. We already change to another new babysitter and Isaac was there since yesterday.
Last week, the babysitter kept calling me and complained to me how difficult it was to take care of Isaac and etc. I know it was a challenge as he is already 10months old plus and can understand most of the stuff and is aware of the surroundings more now. This babysitter has no patience in taking care of him. He called me on Monday and inform me that Isaac fell down and it was not serious so I didn't care that much as I thought it was just a normal fall as he is already cruising and walking by holding on furniture. When we went to pick him up that day, his face was blue black and has some bruises on both his left and right cheeks. I questioned the babysitter and aske him how he fell etc. He said he was not sure how he fell as he left Isaac on the bouncer while he went to the back to get something. How irresponsible of him! Of course, we took Isaac to the doctor and doctor told me this injury is not caused by fall and asked him is it physically abuse? He said he's not sure and advised us to make police report. I told him I didn't want to make such a big thing and just want to make sure Isaac is alright only. Doctor look a bit dissapointed.
I called up the babysitter and asked him to pack all Isaac's stuff as I want to change to another babysitter already. He kept apologizing and calling me day and night to say he is sorry and all.
I actually forgive him already and no hatred in my heart. I personally know that accidents may happen and I do not have proove that he actually did physically abuse my son. Nobody knows that for sure. All I know is that he is not meant to be taking care of Isaac and I do not want to take any risks or chances with him anymore.
Then my previous babysitter- Alice gave me a contact. It's her sis in law's sister. Since she is somebody's relatives and from a good recommendation I give it a try. I went to see her yesterday and she seems to be okay. I was surprised Isaac did not cry when we reach her house that time. She's up for the challenge and told me she know it's going to be tough taking care of a 10mths old and going to take time for Isaac to accept her as a new babysitter. I'm thankful for that. So far it has been day 2 and she seems more under control than the previous babysitter so we will see how it goes...Fingers crossed....
