adventures in babysitting
so most people get on day care lists as soon as they find out that they are pregnant, some even before that! unfortunately that wasn't an option for us since we had no idea where we would be living when the baby was born. we certainly weren't going to get on every day care list in boston, worcester, new haven, springfield, richmond, charlotteville, washington dc, and winston-salem.
then even after we knew we'd be in the boston area, we really didn't know where. the boston metro area is quite expansive so we had to wait again.
now that we're in our house and i have a pretty good idea where i'll be working i'm starting to call day care centers. holy cow. i've called 8 places so far:

Isn't it awful? E goes to daycare 2 days a week, at a place with a sliding scale (bc we are broke students)... and it is still SO expensive. Good luck!!!
Oh my gosh, we pay $135/ week here. That's a world of difference. Time to look for a flexible work arrangement! Is part time an option at daycares there (generally it's not here)?
Does the Hospital or University have any kind of Daycare options for the residents? Our Daycare is a facility subsidized by the University here, so Grad Students get first dibs and we get special pricing schemes. Good Luck!
I would like to apply for the job of Manny for Quentin...I am cuddly and furry like a teddy bear; and just like a teddy bear - I, too, have no moral compass. How about it - am I hired? Let's start the indoctrination...
OR, you could just leave the corporate world and open the Roopon daycare ("The Dog House"?). If you only had 2 kids you'd bring home $2k/ month, plus the $1k/ month you're saving on Q. Brilliant.
