Childcare Dilemna

The person that usually picks Brandon up from the after school program just informed me that she will be having MAJOR surgery in February that requires a 3 - 4 months convalescence period.

My job is being less than understanding about me taking flex time (I get docked for leaving early)

I am basically looking for someone 2 - 3 days a week at most from 5:30 - 7:30.

HELP

ETA: We live in Ronkonkoma, Brandon is 11, and someone who drives is preferred

Re: Childcare Dilemna

Michelle that's unfair you are getting docked.

I work with someone who gets to leave at 4:30 every day to pick up her son from daycare. Maybe you can talk to HR?

I hope you find someone.

Re: Childcare Dilemna

Michelle lives in Suffolk Phyl so your nanny is probably not going to be able to help her.

Michelle-thankfully you have notice and I hope you find someone new. Can you try Suffolk Community College? They have an early childhood development program there. Maybe a student is looking for job?

Re: Childcare Dilemna

Michelle-if you get really stuck, I'll take him for you. I can't commit to the whole time but I'll help you out till you get someone. I can only do Mondays & Tuesdays-I'll pick him up & he can come home with me till you get home(we're almost neighbors anyway).
Sometimes I have errands to do, but he can come with me if that's ok with you. Now that my son works & is a teenager I don't get to hang out with him-so me & Brandon can be pals!
FM me
