Help me find a daycare...

   Submitted by sfmadmin on August 6, 2008 - 10:14am.    

Are you looking for a daycare provider or a nanny? Post your needs here!

Some ground rules:
* Once you've found a daycare provider, please edit your post accordingly.

* If you're a daycare provider and can help a parent out, please CONTACT THEM DIRECTLY, either by private message, e-mail or phone. Same goes if you simply have a suggestion for another parent. (And you don’t have to post a note saying that you’ve PM’d someone either.)

• If you don’t know how to PM (or private message) someone, please see our FAQ at www.siouxfallsmoms.com/frequently_asked_questions.

• And don’t start any new threads. They will be deleted. That just clutters up the forum and interrupts the flow of actual discussion.

From time to time, when this thread gets too long, we’ll start over.

Hello, I am a mother of three beautiful children, ages 4, 2 and 5months. I am looking to find a daycare with openings for all three that is reasonably priced! The bad part is I need someone willing to take my children at 5:30am! I work overnights at the hospital and my husband has to work at 6am in Lennox. I usually have them picked up by 3pm, so it averages about 30 hours a week. I would prefer someone that lives in southwest Sioux Falls, because our oldest will be starting preschool at Central Baptist on Tue/Thur and I will have to be waking up some days to take and pick him up. If anywone has openings please feel free to email me at teresaviox@sio.midco.net or call me at 334-1513. Thanks

I'm losing yet another wonderful daycare provider. *pout* I need to replace her for 2-3 days per week (full days preferred) probably MWF or 2 of those days in any combination for a 2 year old (almost) potty trained little girl. The ability to occasionally take my 5 year old daughter when she doesn't have school would be great too, but the 2 yr old is the priority. I'm near Robert Frost Elementary, so someone near this area would be great. Thanks!

You should check out Hilltop After School Care. It is run by Lutheran Social Services and takes kids from John Harris, Cleveland, Rosa Parks and Harvey Dunn. My kids went there last year and loved it. Wonderful people that work there, very organized and always had fun activities planned. The number is 759-8038.

Hi, I am looking for daycare for my 3 year old and 7 week old daughters. My 3 year old is really needing someone to work with her on her speech, and my 7 week old just needs someone to cuddle her. I am currently in a strange position. My house caught on fire about a month ago, and I am looking for a job. My husband works full time as a truck driver, so he is gone all week only home on weekends. I need someone who is willing to work with our situation, and help my kids feel a little more "regular" in this current situation. I am having a really hard time finding someone for my 7 week old daughter, so if you know anyone that could help or would be interested please pm me!! HELP :)

We are looking for a drop in daycare for my almost 2 year old daughter. I would prefer something on the south or sw side of Sioux Falls and want some place with kids similar to her age. It will generally be one full day per week but the day doesn't matter. Please pm with your info if you would take a very part timer.

Hello - We're expecting our first baby in February and are looking for full-time daycare starting in late April or early May. Probably from 7:30 - 5:30 every day. I prefer an in-home liscenced daycare on SW or S side of Sioux Falls. I know it seems early b/c I am only three months along, but I have contacted several and they all have moms due in Jan or Feb already. If you are an in-home provider, we would love to visit with you!

I am in need of part time morning care for my 18 month old. This will be her first time in daycare and would prefer to have her in a home setting with a small amount of children so I know her needs are being met. Need someone on the Eastside of Sioux Falls, would prefer the Northeast but can make just about anywhere on East side work. Hours would be from 7:30am to 11:30ish or 12:30ish depending on the week but would be no more than 25 hours a week. Would prefer someone who charges by the hour but if not we would be ok with that. If you have any openings that would be a fit, PM me to set up a time to meet. Will need someone starting the beginning of Sept.
