So upset...Daycare issues

I was about to secure a nanny. She is my sister's babysitter. She has been working for my sister for months and my family loves her. She was way too expensive for us, but we found a way to afford her.

I left her a message last night telling her we can meet her price.
Today she left me a message telling me that her husband got laid off and she can't take any less than what she makes now (and what we agreed on is less than what she makes now).

So with 8 weeks to go, now I have to search for a new nanny or daycare. I am so scared. Ihave no idea how to find someone I can trust with my baby. No one is good enough. I don't know what I am going to do. Jordana will only be 3 months old when I put her in daycare Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I feel bad enough that I have to leave her- and now I have to leave her with a total stranger. Chat Icon

No one is ever good enough - even if you've known them for years. We all feel this way.

Where are you looking? LI or Manhattan?

A good friend of mine has had a nanny for 5 years and her best friend had been a nanny with a family in NYC until they moved to westchester. She went with them for a while but hated it as she didnt drive and was very isolated. I know last week she was looking for a job. If you want I can ask for her name and number and you can interview her.

One of our daycare teachers moved to the city with her husband. She's watching my girlfriend's children. I'll ask her if there is anyone that she knows.

I know this is hard - it always works out in the end. I"ll see what I can find out for you.Chat Icon Chat Icon
