I am in Orleans and calls have been few and far between for awhile. The calls I have been getting are for unusual hours, or unusual demands, etc. I am really not interested in getting into that kind of nonsense. There really seems to be an oversaturation of caregivers in almost all areas of the city.

Check out their childcare connection meetings which are free and are a good way to meet parents and other caregivers. I went to the Orleans one in November and although there were 2 parents and 7 caregivers there it was still good to talk and share stories of our daycare search - and at least know I was not alone in my search.
