[quote=Anonymous]I think that you should definitely invoke FMLA and use some of that time to look more intensively for a nanny share or an in-home daycare.  I am also a Fed.  I never invoked FMLA and my boss let me take as much LWOP as I needed, but I'm pretty sure that was entirely her discretion.

I think I recognize you from another blog (popville) and, if so, you're living around Logan Circle, right?  Ideas I have are heading north to around Petworth- there are lots of in-home daycares up here, as well as a few centers that have short waitlists.  Bright Start and the one by the metro on Rock Creek Church road come to mind.  Commute would suck, but maybe you could find a way? You might also want to try the HUD daycare at L'Enfant Plaza.  Their waitlist seems a little shorter than most federal daycares.

One other idea is to have friends in any neighborhood that you would be possibly willing to travel to post on their neighborhood listservs that you are looking for a nanny share to join- that way you'd have a more reliable nanny, I think.

Good luck!  It sounds like you've had a tough time.[/quote]
