In Search Of: Child Care

So with the ever growing population of young families in the forge, I find that one of the hottest commodities in the neighborhood is good daycare for the little ones. I felt that this would be a great forum to allow forgers, day care specialists and sitters alike to post (in the comments) some of their reccomendations. If you are or know of any good leads in this department please go ahead and use this as a place to spread the word! There is no shortage of little ones here, that's for sure...so who's out there to watch them while mommy and daddy are unavailable??

Any help would be greatly appreciated by many new families, I am certain!

  1. Speaking of child care, we are actually looking for an afternoon sitter, about 3:30-5:30 weekdays, to get our girls from school (ages 4 and 6), play and make them dinner. The person would need to be able to drive, we have a car if necessary. If you can't do every day of the week, that is fine. Please email jrabe1@jhmi.edu.

  2. I am a Friends School teacher and our school offers full time child care to the community from ages 6 weeks and up. Baby Friends offers care for 6 weeks to 2 years of age and then Little Friends goes from 2 years (or maybe 2 1/2 yrs.) to 4 or 5.
    However, my husband and I would also like some leads on good baby sitters. If anyone has kids or knows of any that want to babysit, please email: hhutchison@friendsbalt.org

  3. Hi Rodgers Forge Neighbors: My name is Katie Golden and I am an eighteen-year-old college student at UMBC. I am energetic, neat and responsible and I have a great deal of experience with kids. I have been baby-sitting since I was thirteen and was a mother's helper for several years before that. While I live on-campus at school, I am available on weekends to come back to Towson to baby-sit. I am available both weekdays and weekends on holidays. I am available for overnights, vacations, and summer sitting. I have my license and I also belong to the Meadowbrook Swim Club in the summers, if anyone is a member there and is looking for a sitter at the pool. My cell phone number is 443-823-0592 and my home number is 410-821-9413. My email address is goldengirl925@gmail.com. Thanks and I hope to hear from you!

  6. I am looking for a childcare provider for my son starting in the fall. He will be 9 months old then. My needs are very flexible, so a stay at home mom or college student would be perfect. Ideally I would like the person to come to my home for 4 or 5 hours per day (M-F), but I am flexible about dropping him off somewhere as well if it's near the Forge. And I am willing to pay for a full time spot in a day care if it's the right fit, even though I will only need 20-25 hours of care per week. If anyone sees this post and can help me, please give me a call. My name is Jessica and my phone number is 410 446 2319.
