[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't have any new suggestions, but I am surprised by your view of baby sitters and nannies. I have been a SAHM in arlington and DC for 5 years and have never seen a nanny do anything even boarding on abusive. I spend every day out an about with my kids at play grounds, story times, rec centers, you name it, and see tons of kind, patient, loving nannies. Most are much more patient than I am and I sometimes ask for advice! You could also post on your neighborhood list serve to see if there are any SHAMs who wouldn't mind watching your kid for an hour or two. Maybe one of her friend's parents? I occassionally have a neighbor's daughter over after school, she plays with my kids and I cook and get them dinner. They have a HS student watch her for an hour every day but I am happy to fill in occassionally. [/quote]
