[quote=Anonymous][quote=yjorjorian]I live in Alexandria and we are currently trying to find daycare for our soon-to-arrive daughter. My husband works a job where his shift is 24 hrs on and then 72 hrs off. So we would only need daycare a couple days a week and each week the days would change (for example, one week he works Monday and Friday, the next week he only works Tuesday, etc.). I was wondering if anyone knew of daycare (whether in-home or not) in the NoVA area that is more flexible - instead of having to pay for an entire week, you can pay by day or a minimum number of hours or some other type of schedule? Any suggestions or advice would be great!! Thanks![/quote]
I don't know if you can find that.  I know that when we looked at daycares (in MD) back in April-May, we found that some will do part-time, but you have to have the part-time schedule set up in advance (like Tue-Thu or Mon/Wed/Fri) and it needs to be a consistent schedule.  None of the five daycares that we actually interviewed nor the 12-15 that I previewed on-line had anything like what you ask for.

My suggestion is that you might want to look for an in-home nanny to come to your home or for someone who has a nanny that would be willing to do a flexible nanny share.  I think that would be more likely to work out for your unusual circumstances.[/quote]
