childcare issues

I got a bombshell phone call from my babysitter today. She can no longer watch Emma because she says it is too much of a strain on her own children. She has been watching Emma for 2 months now and has been wonderful. I am absolutely devastated and have been crying all day. I found this woman through a friend and dont even know where to begin to look. Does anybody have any suggestions? I need all the help I can get.

Re: childcare issues

I am so sorry this is happening to you. I know how devasted my brother and his wife were when their nanny couldn't do it anymore. I hope everything works out for the best

Re: childcare issues

Is she giving you time to find a new sitter? Perhaps a daycare center is a better idea- that way you don't get a call like this.
I would think this is a very stressful thing to deal with. I am sure you will find a solution.

Re: childcare issues

If you live anywhere near oceanside, I would recommend the JCC there.
They are great...a bit expensive though.

Julianne has been going there since she is 7 months old...they take them at 2 months...

GREAT place
