Half week infant care in McLean/Tysons area?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone! New here - expecting our first child in August. I will be going back to work in Dec/Jan and will need full-day infant care Weds-Fri. I'm just beginning my search but I'm worried that I will not be able to find any daycare facilities that offer this type of schedule, and we may be forced to look at in-home daycare or nannies. Does anyone have experience with this, or specific recommendations?

Thank you so much!

Even in-home daycare providers prefer to have full time clients, especially for infants. They usually adjust and transition in better when they attend full time.

A nanny might be your best option.

You’ll be able to find an in home spot if you pay for the whole week and just use the days you need. My daycare has a kid like this. It will still be cheaper than a nanny.
