Looking for childcare

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
I don't like in a huge city, but it is by no means tiny either.  This being said, I need some advice as to how to go about finding childcare for my LO.  I'm open to types of care, just need to knowhow to get started.  Thanks!

    Do you know anyone else with kids?  I think word of mouth is the best and most honest opinions of childcare.

    I would start by calling a few either close to home or work and setting up tours. They'll show you the entire center & the room your child will be in. Im Home Child Care centers will usually do this as well.

    Do you want a nanny, in-home care or a daycare setting? I think start there based on your family's needs and then take the next steps.

    Here are some great sites for nanny/in-home care.

    www.care.com

    www.sittercity.com

    www.nannies4hire.com

    www.care4hire.com

    Those are the only ones I remember off the top of my head.

    I agree! We asked around to our co-workers, and went off of their recommendations.

    care.com is great for us.  I got over 50 resumes for the nanny position I posted - many already had background checks complete that I had access to.
