Hi everyone. I'm a FTM and am new to this forum. I'm expecting twin boys to arrive mid-to-late August 2012. Our original plan for day-to-day childcare was to have my mother-in-law stay at our house and care for the boys, but she just recently backed out entirely.  Now we're left without any back-up child care plans. Please help!!!!! My husband and I live near Frederick, MD at zip code 21755. Does anyone have suggestions on nannys, in-home daycare, daycare centers, or au pair services? We're desperate for some help and are scrambling to find childcare that has experience with twins. Thanks in advance!

If you haven't joined the Montgomery County Parents of Multiples group yet, I would highly recommend it. They have their own listserv, and just this week there have been a handful of posts advertising nannies looking for work. www.mcpom.org
Good luck! |

| Also have you joined and posted on Frederick Mommies? It's a pretty active group - I have a good friend who lives in Frederick. She sends her little boy to Goddard daycare, which they love, but not sure if they have a waitlist. Good luck! |

Hi there -- congrats on your twins! I have twin 15 month old girls. I would sign up for care.com and scroll through their postings -- we've only used sitters through there for occasional childcare and not for full-time nannying, but it is definitely worth looking at as a possible resource.
In re: au pairs -- we have our first one arriving later this month (we had a nanny for the girls' first year). As far as I am aware, au pairs come through licensed services that take care of all of the admin aspects, including visa requirements. We are using Cultural Care, but I know there are several other agencies operating in this area (Au Pair Care, Au Pair America, etc.). There can be a decently long lead time with getting an au pair, but there are always people looking to rematch with a new family, stay an extra year, etc. If you are interested and expecting so soon, it is probably worth googling these agencies and reaching out now. I should also say that our current nanny had no experience with twins, and it has worked out fine -- I had no prior experience with twins either 
Congrats again! |
