For Working Parents
I am wondering, what do you do if you have to leave for work prior to your child going to school--is there early a.m. day care or do you have a sitter?
I am not a mom, yet...but wondering what people do .....
Any info would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Re: For Working Parents
I take my daughter to before school program. In out school you can drop them off anything after 7:15 and then I have her in an afterschool program . There she has to be picked up by 5:45.
Although I dont drop her off until 8:40 in the morning, so I can make work at 9.
So Im not that bad as far as her having a looong school day, poor kid.

Re: For Working Parents
There is no before school program...so I am basically late to work everyday by about 15-30 minutes. Luckily...my boss is ok with that. She does go to an after-school program which she has to be be picked up by 6...DH usually picks her up about 5 since he gets our earlier than me.
Our biggest problem is that when school is closed (holiday/snow day), so is the after-school program...then one of us has to take the day off since we don't have any family near by. What does everyone else do in these situations?

Re: For Working Parents
Thanks for the words....my DH and I both leave for work at 6a.m.....yeah...that early. So, I guess I would have to have some sort of babysitter for 3 hours in the a.m. (we are adopting). Its kills me to think someone else would be putting my kids on the bus, but I have to work ---How much do sitters get paid?
