Please feel free to call her if you're looking for day care in April and let me know if you would like a full reference from me.

Her name is Shoba and she can be reached at 703-534-5088. Please mention this site or my name.

Hi Beth,
I'm going to be looking for daycare for my son mid-summer, but I'm wondering how you originally found Shoba. Did you use the Infant/Toddler placement service or was it just a personal referral? Any tips for starting the child care search? My husband and I anticipate moving to the Falls Church area, and are trying to figure out the best way to approach looking for child care.

Thanks in advance to anyone with advice to offer,
Leslie

Hi Beth,

My husband and I are in East Falls Church (close to the Calico Corners on Williamsburg St.) and are looking for in-home daycare options around our area. Is the Shoba located close to this area at all? If so, we'd be interested in finding out more. Thanks so much!

I would say you're probably 10 minutes away (give or take in traffic). She lives off of Route 7 across from the shopping center that has OHOP, Jerry's and a Starbucks. Hope this helps!

I think I know the one you mean, the Broaddale center, there's a Hair Cuttery and an H&R Block in there as well, right? That's very close to us. I'll definitely give her a call. Thank you so much for your help!

Hey Beth, we probably cross when we're dropping the kids off, but haven't met in person. I use Ms. Shoba too, and really like her.


To others that are interested, she took care of my daughter for 3 years, and now watches my son. She is in Falls Church City near the corner of Arlington (just a few minutes from the Calico Corners someone asked about). I drop off my son and then drive to the nearby West Falls Church Metro.

I found her by going through the licensed providers at the Falls Church City Web site. I cold called several places and settled on her home after interviewing her. Her whole family is great with the kids. She's been a blessing and extremely reliable.

Good luck with your search!

Hello Beth:

Shoba probably has more leads now than she can deal with! If not though, I am definitely looking for care for our 3 1/2 month old. Would you provide more information on her? Thanks much.
