Daycare recommendations for 3-6 month old babies and older

ccarrozza1

I live in St George in staten island but when I am working, I work in midtown Manhattan near the flatiron, the textile area on 5th ave. Could anyone recommend daycares either in st george staten island or around midtown manhattan near 28th and 5th? I am doing my research now to see what my best options are and the costs etc. I am freelance so not sure when I will go back to the commute to the city to work but anywhere from 3 months to 6 months is when I will go back. I am open to suggestions, just want a really safe, positive environment for the baby.

Would you consider an au pair? An au pair works up to 45 hours per week from your home with a schedule that you make for them and it can differ from week to week depending on your needs. —including night-time and weekend hours. An au pair can get your children out of bed and dressed in the morning, provide trustworthy supervision, drive them to school, activities, and appointments, do their laundry, fix meals, and help keep their bedrooms and playareas clean --- An au pairs weekly stipend is $195.75 plus room and board and the average weekly cost comes to $360 with agency fees and all the necessary paperwork included. Au pairs are young men and women from all over the world, who all have a true interest in childcare and want to spend a year or two living in the United States sharing their culture. Our au pairs are all CPR certified and have successfully completed their secondary education. We have native speakers of several languages in the program, including Mandarin, Spanish, French and German!

I work as a local recourse for the agency in NYC and would love to answer any questions if you are interested. I can be reached at [email protected] or by phone at 646-220-3135.

I am actually not looking for that type of care. I will just need someone for part of the week 9-6, maybe three to four days in three or four months from now. I am a freelance designer and can not afford to, nor do I have room to have a live in au pair.

We looked at preschool of America and bright horizons. We decided on bright horizons because they had more flexible options. Both are ridiculously expensive.
