@babymay2016 thank you I'll look into it☺️

No I don't they are either going back to school or have their own jobs...

There are lots of groups on facebook and for example I live in Edmond Oklahoma and I am in a group called "Babysitters of Edmond". Some people post "Hey I am looking for a sitter/nanny on these days, for a 2yr old boy, can have you at my home or drop him off if your home is prepared for this age. Need references and experience, CPR trained... " etc and people will comment their number and the person will interview people. Some people just post they need a sitter for the night or a specific day. And other people will post that they are a baby sitter, experience with ages 6mo-12yrs, CPR certified and have references. There is a lot of care out there you just have to look and be very careful. Ask a LOT of questions, meet with the people. Inspect their home or the facility.

Do you have any relatives that could babysit? At least that way it’s someone you know and your baby will get one on one attention.

I am in multiple baby sitter groups on facebook in my area. I say just really inspect the place/person and ask a lot of questions. If they don't want to answer then there is a problem. I had my son at a daycare I really didn't like, because there was NOWHERE else. That was a very bad mistake. Nothing terrible happened but it could have, and every day he was upset and dirty etc... They then lost all his stuff, kept losing our receipts and asking for more money! Very unprofessional, all young workers on their phone all day. I looked way way harder for a different one and pulled him out. Every person knows me, my mom, and my sons dad by name. They make sure we have copies of our receipts. They give me a paper every day with how he was, when he used the restroom, what he needs like diapers or wipes, etc. My son loves it there and they all are really sweet. You just have to be very thorough when looking and asking questions. I came in three times to meet with the director before he started there, and told her every single concern I had. I feel comfortable leaving my son there and know he is safe and happy there. They even booked a spot for my baby who isn't here yet, without even asking or making me pay to hold the spot. I asked about it and they said they already put me on the waiting list!
