I am desperately trying to find someone to watch my son beginning on February 6th! After visiting the few daycares that had openings, I have decided to look for a nanny to come to my home. I am looking for 30-35 per week. If you know of anyone, please let me know.

Sorry I have called some people but did not find anyone. I have recently been looking at daycare centers (most of which have waiting lists) and homebased daycare. You can get a list of liscened homedaycare from the state dept. Good Luck

I would post my requirement on newyork.craigslist.org. Its a free listing that I used to hire a nanny for my son. On the link you have the option to select fairfield county thereby allowing you to only get responses from prospective nannies in and around your area.

i have a fabulous woman who cared for my daughter for her 1st year. she is available. she charges $15/hr and does not drive. i do know she's been out of work for some time so her price may be negotiable. she is truly amazing and we adore her. if the price is OK with you and you live near public transportation let me know and I'll pass her name and number onto you. we lived in east norwalk and she took the train (we picked her up) and then when we moved to Stratford, she took the bus and walked from the stop around the corner. at times it was a problem but the trade-off is someone who is trustworthy and reliable and adores children - our daughter calls her nana!

Hi M.,
I know you said you were now looking for a nanny to come to your home, butI am doing home day care in my home in Stratford and wondered if you might be intersted. I don't know if my town is convenient for you, it would depend on what town you are working in. If you would like to talk more about possibly bringing your child to me I would love to discuss this matter with you. If not, I have a friend who runs a nanny agency and I could check with her to see if she has anyone available. Can you give me a few specifics, like your child's age, the hours you are looking for and what you expect to pay? Please respond either way, maybe I can help you out. I realize how hard it is to transfer to another state and not know anyone. Take care. D.
