[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not recommend driving 13 miles to school to school, or even 5, unless you’re going to hire someone to do it (nanny or au pair). It’s just too far. [/quote]

OP here. Dad and I have thrown around the idea of having someone drop DC off at school and I would be able to pick him up. I'm just not sure on how to go about finding that someone. We would only need them for about 2 hours a day. [/quote]

Advertise on care.com or other places you'd look for a sitter.

Another option is to hire an after-school nanny to pick up child, bring home and play, and start dinner for you. That may work out to be not much more expensive than after care would be, and for some kids the school day is long enough without the 2-3 hours of aftercare tacked on at the end.[/quote]

After-school sitters are very hard to find. I tried with care.com and it was hours every day of flakey ridiculous email streams for weeks before I gave up. And when you do eventually find them, they are extremely flakey.[/quote]
