[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find a daycare ( some take as you as 2 month old), let nanny go, take care of kids while searching for next job, then send kids to daycare after you find a job before prek starts. Depend on your new job ( full or part time) and income and work hour, you may reconsider full day or half day prek. [/quote]

How do you take care of 2 kids while needing to do phone interview and inperson interviews and networking coffees etc on other people's schedule whims.  Its very self defeating to try to look for a job just to have to say "i'm sorry I can't interview any of the 3 time slots you gave you" bc you can't find someone to watch your kids[/quote]

Right?  And if it was the husband that lost the job, would everyone be recommending that they give up childcare and he have fun with the kids while looking for a new job?  I know a family where it is the DH who has been out of work for a year and both of their kids are still in daycare.  I'm not sure how they are swinging it exactly, except that I know their mortgage payment is relatively low and one of the kids will go to kindergarten next fall.[/quote]
