All my girlfriends and female coworkers with babies belong to email groups for their neighborhood (e.g. MOTH-mothers of the hill, shirlngton moms, etc). Does anyone know if this exists for Del Ray...or even more generally Alexandria? and if so, how you get on it? I hear they're a tremendous resource for finding nannies, nanny-shares, and other childcare options.
Re: Del Ray moms group???
i live in del ray and most moms i know here are on the del ray list serv. i don't, b/c you have to join the neighborhood association (i.e., pay a fee) in order to sign up (from what i could gather when i visited the site).
someone told me there was a monthly meet up at duncan library for pregnant women and maybe new moms too, but i've never been. maybe check the library's schedule to see if you can find such a group. i think it's called belly something.
did you take a birth class? the moms from the class i took all stayed in touch and we get together every now and then - used to be a lot when our children were babies, but they are almost 4 now and most of us either have or are on #2 and just don't have time anymore.
G/L!
There is an Old Town Moms listserv that does not cost anything. Email me at toreybATgmail and I can give you the info. And, yes- there are lots of posts for daycare options and it is how I find our wonderful caregiver :-)
