Even though I mentioned college students in my post I hadn't even actually thought about that before and completely forgot that Mason has a lot of local students/ commuters (I recently moved close to campus from Arlington). Thanks!

Hi- just checking to see if anyone has had luck posting on these forums for part time (say maybe 15-20 hours a week) help with childcare- might be mother's helper but not looking for a HS kid, it would be during the day (college student is fine though, as of course would be women who do childcare of any adult age).

I see mostly postings for full time. I just think with c-section, no family, DH with a demanding job and me starting a job search at about 4-5 months post-partum (leaving a contract position just before birth of DS 2) it might be good to get some help with my insanely energetic toddler while trying to care for a newborn. We can't just leave him in his daycare unfortunately since I no longer commute to that area for work.

So much change at once!

Are there other resources than DCUM and Care.com that I might be missing for this part time search?
