Need Daycare Unexpectedly

I am in desperate need of childcare on Monday's and Wednesday's from about 10:30 to 5. Some weeks it would only be one day and others it would be until a little after 7. (I can explain this more later) We are in a pretty different situation with our schedules and need someone that would be somewhat flexible. I am really looking for a stay at home mom who just needs to earn some cash on the side, but would be open to anything. I live in Oakdale, my husband works in Woodbury and I work in Stillwater... so just about anywhere in the area would work for us.

What can I do next?

I know the response is a little late but better late than never..... Just an FYI I do most 24/7 care and Drop-Ins welcome. M.

I have heard that the center at 36 and English is very flexible with their days and hours. (sorry I can't remember the name)
I hope you find something that works for you.

Hi T.,

I was recently in the same position as you. We put an ad on Craigslist, and I had about 10 calls within the first day. I found a great SAHM who comes to our house with her little girl. We interviewed her ahead of time, and I asked for 2 references.

A SAHM will be your best bet, as most daycare centers are only open until 6:00 pm. Also, licensed centers can only have a certain number of babies at one time, and most do not want to "fill" these spots with part-time kids.

Hi T.,

Have you tried Little Victories in Stillwater on Stillwater Blvd across from the high school? They are sooooo good with my son and have the most flexible hours I have ever seen. Prices are reasonable. Give them a look :)
