Small Childcare Setting Needed for My 5 Year Old Son

Hi B.... Have you tried looking on Craigslist? (http://portland.craigslist.org) It has an entire section for child care, and when I was looking I noticed quite a few entries for the Tigard/Beaverton area. That's how I found my part time nanny! :) For instance, there was one very nice mom of a little girl looking to take care of another child during the day. Also, there is Metro Childcare Resource & Referral... it is a tri-county run web site that matches you with childcare providers who meet the specific criteria you select. I think the fee is $20? Their web site is: http://www.metroccrr.org/parentresource.htm. Hope that helps! I work in Tigard, so if I hear of anything, I'll let you know. take care, -julie

Hi, B..

I had my daughter 3 months ago and decided not to go back to work. I'm not very familiar with Portland, but if it's not very far for you to drive I would enjoy taking care of your son. I live in North Plains. It would be a good transition for him and a source of income for me that would allow me to stay home with my little one too.
You can send me an email if you are interested and I can tell you more about my family.

If you are looking for full time, my daycare is execellent! My son is 4 years old. The setting is warm and nurturing, not a baby factory and is a pre school. It's by Tewilliger and I-5 called Cloud Nine ###-###-####. Shoot me an e-mail if you want to talk about it.

I would check the local resource and referral line. I am considering quitting my job to do daycare on a full-time basis, so if you can't find anyone, let me know! I am a single mom of four kids, ages 5, 7, 8, and 10.
