L.D.
I am in Dallas and found in home child care for my first baby - he stayed there until almost two and then moved to a nice small daycare center/preschool.
Nannies were too expensive for us.
I would put your name on some waitlists for places nearby, and look into some in home care - you can see places that are registered by the state at the link Julia provided.
I do know people who patched together different people to watch the child different days, and it seemed confusing and like they were always scrambling to cover a day because someone got sick or had a conflict.
Maybe you could do something at home for the first year and then try something less expensive?
