When you are at work who cares for your LO? Daycare, family member, nanny, etc?

Daycare from 8-4. Luckily it is on-site where I work, so I spend my lunch break with her and can visit her whenever I want.

Used to be FT nanny care. Now he's going to AM preschool and will be home with a nanny in the afternoon (who will also watch LO#2). On average, 12 hrs/day that I'm gone, 4 hrs of that at school.

My mom watched LO in her home. He's there 2 full days (about 10 hrs) and 2 shorter days (about 5.5 hours).

When LO #2 comes, they will both be with my mom 2 full days and then with a sitter at our home for the 2 short days.

DH has 1 weekday off a week, and he obviously has LO when he is home.

I work 4 days a week. DH's schedule fluctuates some, so the girls spend 1 or 2 days with him on his days off, and the other days with my mom. Depending on the shift DH works, my mom can have the girls anywhere from 5-9 hours on the days she watches them.

DD gets dropped off at a baby-sitters house (friend of the fmaily) and is there from 7:45 to 3:00 each day (teacher).

SportsLover · September 2011

Daycare - 4 days (8 - 4:30)

Grandmom - 1 day (7:30 - 5)

Krislax13 · September 2011

I work the weekends usually and have two days off during the week so my DH will watch him on the weekends and my mom will be taking him for three days from either 6:15 to 3:30/4 with my DH or 6:15 to 5:30 with my schedule. I also work some nights everyweek so he could go to my mom's for a couple hours before DH picks him up. He starts daycare in January for three days a week...I have no idea what I am going to do when my DH starts coaching baseball in the spring...sometimes he doesn't get home until 9pm.

I have the most confusing childcare situation EVER. This is an "average" week-I usually work 17 hours a week, and most weeks my DH only has the kids 1 day, but sometimes 2.

Monday: DD with my parents/ DS at daycare (4 hours)

Tuesday: both kids with my parents (3 hours)

Wednesday: DD with my parents/DS in daycare (4 hours)

Thursday: kids with DH (3 hours)

Friday: kids with parents (3 hours)

ENev · September 2011

Mondays he's home with DH.

Tuesday-Friday, he's in in-home daycare, from about 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., so 8 1/2 hours. I'm home with him on Fridays in the summer - but that's over now, unfortunately!

Family child care

Nine hours

xtencornfield · September 2011

In-home daycare that's kind of center-ish in that she has multiple teachers working with her and there are more children...she will actually be opening a center in November and be closing her in-home and we will make the switch at that time.

He's there from 7:30 to 4:45 (so ~9.25 hours), 4 days a week. I work long days and have off on Fridays.
