Bit of advice regarding leaving your toddler... to work or wherever.
It absolutely pays to tell them how sorry you are that you have to leave and how you will miss them, but that you are going to earn some money and think of them.
It also really helps to accumulate tiny, but stimulating, presents (1-10$ value) and giving it to them from time to time for waiting for you. Toy cars, dice, soap bubbles, a piece of chocolate, etc.
