[quote=Anonymous]I think it's going to be tough to find that kind of flexibility.  There's really no incentive for a daycare provider to do that. By law they can watch X number of kids at a time and if they have to hold your child's slot open on different days each week, that probably means they're going to have an empty slot the other days, unless they can find someone with a similarly varied but not overlapping schedule (highly unlikely).  As expensive as daycare seems, providers really don't make much money in the scheme of things, and most probably can't afford to have unused spots. Around here any good daycare can easily fill with kids paying for full-time.  You may find that you need to pay for full time care and just use it when you need it--that's what many people do.  It has its upsides-- I would imagine that after a 24-hour shift your husband might need some time to rest before jumping right back into full-time childcare for the next 3 days.  If you have daycare available he can get some time to himself and still have plenty or time with your child, at his convenience. [/quote]
