[quote=Anonymous]I am a working professional and my wife is a stay at home spouse.  We are first time parents with a daughter that will be 2 soon.

My wife has become increasingly irritated and annoyed of taking care of our daughter and I think we need professional child care so she can get some hours to herself to decompress and run errands. Ive always wanted to get professional childcare but my spouse is incredibly OCD with control issues and her only choices are to do it herself or have me do it when I get home from a demanding job all day.  My daughter is not special needs but just a normal kid that's exhibiting more terrible two behavior (e.g refuses to eat, like to say no to everything, etc).

I think our demands are pretty low which would be looking at our daughter for a few hrs for a few days and taking her to the local play gym which is within walking distance from our house.  It would be great if this person would do some light housework such as unloading the dishwasher or folding the laundry when my kid takes a nap but not essential requirement.

Is there some efficient way and references I can get to make this search more painless. Im not sure I want to wade through a bunch of candidates from a Facebook post and scrutinize their backgrounds and references. Ive been to the Care.com website but there seems to be alot of disparaging remarks about it on this forum.  Where can i found the local listerv for Potomac/Bethesda or any other local sites?
