    Default ChildCare for wierds hours

    I find it very differcult to find childcare for wierd late hours. My sister is going back to college down state. Do anybody know the best nanny services or have any suggestions on how to find good quality child care for late nights. I tried the home daycare listing with the city. I found one home daycare but it was ran my a man and his wife. I am not comfterable with leaving my children with a man. I am looking into AU Pair

    hmmm.... why does a man bother you? My mom ran a daycare and was married so (obviously) my dad was there. Guess look in your local yellow pages or online for nanny services and interview.

    Another option is to post a room and pay in exchange for childcare services in the local college for girls studying child ed classes (cant remember the name of them)

    You could have live in childcare for room/board and a couple hundred bucks a month. Since theyll be working when your child is sleeping I think its a pretty good arrangement. My girlfriend did this and LOVED it. Just make sure you really interview and get good references from them!

    Do any girls you work with have a babysitter that they regularly use? 4 of the girls I work with all use the same babysitter, so ask around. Maybe put an ad in the newspaper saying what you're looking for, just make sure you do a good background check before you hire anyone.

    If you're in a college town, you could contact a sorority (obviously one of the academic ones rather than the ones with party reputations.)

    I feel bad leaving my children at wierd hours of the night. I live in chicago, and I heard so many crazy stories even about women. I just don't wanna put my children in a situations thats not good for them because I choose to dance. The girls at work they have family member, or the child dad will baby sit thier children. My children father is in the military and just left for Iraq. My sister just left for college. I tried one nanny service at $300.00 a week. My child had to get 6 stitiches in her hand.

    Why couldn't you possibly have one of these people watch your child then? Especially someone's mother. An added benefit of this is that your child will also have someone to play with.

    Before you go with ANYBODY, do a background check on them. They may seem nice, and they may have references, but who knows if those people are really former people who have used the provider's services. It only costs about $30 and its well worth it! That way, if its a home day care with a husband, yo ucan do a background check on them too. Always visit them at different times or the day a few times before you decide to go with that provider.

    Good luck!

    When I first started dancing, I was fortunate enough to find a nighttime child care facility in my city of Boise, Idaho. Now, there are at least 2 operating 7 days a week to fill that graveyard shift niche. Have you done a Google search on this topic for Chicago?
