If you used a national website, please recommend.  I need to find daycare for 2 days per week so hoping to either get in-home care or send her to at home daycare.  Not sure how to start...did anyone use craigslist??  TIA!

    IMO I wouldn't turn to craigslist.

    We found our in home provider through my DH's boss. Him and his g/f had been taking their DD there and they gave a really good reference. She is licensed and we really like how she is with DD.

    If you are considering in home as an option. I know our state's DHS website has a listing of all in home daycares. You are also able to view any negative findings or anything on that nature. Maybe your state has something along that.

    Also I know there is a website called care.com but I am not sure how much they have for in home providers...I always thought of that as a babysitter/nanny type search website.

    If you are looking for a childcare center, review your states licensing website.

    Last time I had to look I used metrodaycare.com. They list all licensed DCPs (home and/or centers) and show you on a map where they're located. I started out with the most conveniently located and from there, I did some google searching and made lots of calls. We ended up with a great place.

    I just checked out that website and it didn't list any in-home daycares near me.  If that's what you want, you could also look and see if your county (in addition to state) has a list of licensed providers.  Small in-homes may not know (or need) to advertise on a national website.
