Re: Bucktown Babies?
I am. ?
Childcare- good luck with this. ?We've been on waitlists for daycares since I was in my first trimester (and some places just laughed and wouldn't even take our name for a waitlist). ?My son was born in October and we aren't expected to get in anywhere until possibly summer or early next fall. ?We are opting to go with a nanny now.
Pediatrician- we go to Town & Country Pediatrics (near North/Clyborn intersection).?
Like PP, we go to Town and Country Pediatrics. I like most everyone I've met, and they are open 7 days a week.
I am in Wrigleyville and I found a daycare 3 blocks from my house using the EAP program at my company. There are also websites through the state where you can find out names/numbers of licensed facilities--I used initially in my search--as well as just doing some random google searches. I found a variety of in-home daycares (more openings there) and a few larger centers that had waitlists in my neighborhood.
I found several that were further north, but that is unlikely to work for you.
Best of luck!
