Have you considered a stop gap provider in the sense of hiring a university student to stay with your son, let him sleep in and get him up, fed and then take him to the other provider before heading off to school or work themselves. You might also consider arranging for someone to stay at your house on the early morning days so they would arrive the night before and sleep over allowing you to get up and go to work and your child to sleep in longer.

Have you tried working with your company to do a job share so that you would take care of each others children on your days off since you would both be used to getting up at 5 each day. Please remember that while you are putting your baby to bed and going to bed yourself early since you have to get up early, your provider is also putting her own children to bed and then instead of going to bed herself is sanitizing bathrooms, washing toys children mouthed that day, cutting out shapes for craft time, cutting up vegetables to be served the next day. Our woek day does not end when the last child leaves. Sorry that you are having daycare issues. Odd hours care does sometimes require some unusual arrangements. Wish I had some other ideas for you. Be sure you are posting ads for childcare wanted on local message boards and talking to anyone you see. Ask around to other parents that work at jobs that start at early hours like you. Be prepared to drive out of your way to find someone. Find a 24 hour daycare and there are sometimes a few in each city and consider taking your child to care the night before so he can sleep in the next morning too.
