Subject: Desperately Looking for Childcare in Frederick, MD
Hi there -- congrats on your twins! I have twin 15 month old girls. I would sign up for care.com and scroll through their postings -- we've only used sitters through there for occasional childcare and not for full-time nannying, but it is definitely worth looking at as a possible resource.
In re: au pairs -- we have our first one arriving later this month (we had a nanny for the girls' first year). As far as I am aware, au pairs come through licensed services that take care of all of the admin aspects, including visa requirements. We are using Cultural Care, but I know there are several other agencies operating in this area (Au Pair Care, Au Pair America, etc.). There can be a decently long lead time with getting an au pair, but there are always people looking to rematch with a new family, stay an extra year, etc. If you are interested and expecting so soon, it is probably worth googling these agencies and reaching out now. I should also say that our current nanny had no experience with twins, and it has worked out fine -- I had no prior experience with twins either
Congrats again!

Also have you joined and posted on Frederick Mommies? It's a pretty active group - I have a good friend who lives in Frederick. She sends her little boy to Goddard daycare, which they love, but not sure if they have a waitlist. Good luck!

If you haven't joined the Montgomery County Parents of Multiples group yet, I would highly recommend it. They have their own listserv, and just this week there have been a handful of posts advertising nannies looking for work. www.mcpom.org
Good luck!

Hi everyone. I'm a FTM and am new to this forum. I'm expecting twin boys to arrive mid-to-late August 2012. Our original plan for day-to-day childcare was to have my mother-in-law stay at our house and care for the boys, but she just recently backed out entirely. 
Now we're left without any back-up child care plans. Please help!!!!! My husband and I live near Frederick, MD at zip code 21755. Does anyone have suggestions on nannys, in-home daycare, daycare centers, or au pair services? We're desperate for some help and are scrambling to find childcare that has experience with twins. Thanks in advance!
