Evening Child Care

[playfelt]

Pretty much the majority of care you will find for evenings is a student babysitter - check with the local colleges/university if you want someone in a childcare related course of study. Since your child would have had all day with you or in a program to do the academic/social part of learning the evening in their own home with a babysitter I would think is what you really want anyways in the sense of giving your child downtime while still getting a bit of playtime and a bedtime story etc.

Most home daycare providers have their own children and take the opportunity in the evenings to participate with them in activities such as sports, dance, brownies, etc. or to have some alone time with their children. Not to mention time to prepare for the next workday that is already a 10-12 hour day.

I think something you need to ask yourself is why you need a childcare provider instead of a babysitter when the work that needs to be done does not require any kind of special training or teaching - supper, bath, snack, bed with a bit of playtime between. Your child deserves downtime from their busy day too to just be themselves and unwind.
