Home Day Care

Does any one know of anyone who does daycare out of their home? Preferably on the Mill Run side of Broadlands. I am thinking about going back to work part time and my daughter will be in kindergarten next year. She will be in the afternoon class so I would just need someone to watch her in the morning and get her on the bus. Any help would be appreciated.

 

oh you already know that your child goes afternoon? Hill side did not tell us yet.

 

I'm glad this isn't Lansdowne!

 

I am just assuming, as our neighborhood has been afternoon since we've lived here, which is 5 years. I'm not positive, but it seems like all of Broadlands Mill Run students go afternoon. Those in outside communities go mornings. That may change though.

 

I could be mistaken, but I believe the schools base the kindergarten time on whether the parents work or stay at home. Children of working parents get priority for the morning time; children of SAH parents get the afternoon time.

Well, regardless, back to my original reason for the thread. If any one knows of anyone who would be interested in watching my daughter, for a few hours in the morning a few days a week, please let me know. Thanks.

 

Hello, I am a mom living in Ashburn and saw your post. I have started my own business, called Mother's Helper. Perhaps we could be of service to you. See below for information on our services and pricing.

MOTHER'S HELPER SERVICES & PRICING

PACKAGES:

Traditional
A Traditional Mother’s Helper tends to be in their late-teens early twenties (18-21) and works up to 45 hours per week in shifts of 4 hours total each day (Early Morning, Afternoon, and Early Evening shifts). They can do light housekeeping, take care of children and help with errands and household chores so long as they are accompanied by the parent of the household in which they are serving.
$25/hour, 4 hour min.

Deluxe
Deluxe Mother’s Helpers tend to be in their early-twenties and can include retirees (21- 69). They are considered to be experienced and able to take full charge of a household. They may or may not have specialized training in childcare/child development. They can work up to 60 hours per week in shifts of 6 hours total each day (Early Morning and Early Evening shifts). They can do light housekeeping including laundry, take care of children, do grocery shopping, meal preparation, and help with household and external errands either with a parent present, or, independently, using their own means of transportation.
$35/hour, 6 hour min.

Specialist
Like a Deluxe Mother’s Helper, a Mother’s Helper Specialist specializes in a particular need. Examples include working solely on post-partum assistance; assisting the new mother with care for newborn babies during the first few months of life with particular attention towards post-partum care for the Mother. They help new mothers with basic baby care and may also do light housekeeping, run errands and baby-sit older children. A Mother’s Helper Specialist can also be well-versed and possibly have formal training in caring for newborns, twins/multiples, as well as special needs children. Specialists can also serve as a companion for an older person in need of extra assistance. Overall, specialists are Deluxe Mother’s Helpers with benefits. In addition to light housekeeping, running errands, transporting to and from appointments, they offer quality interaction with the client, concentrating on one particular need or service.
$60/hour, 4 hour x 4 day/week min.

Event Specialist
An Event Specialist is typically over 18 and assists the Mother with special event and occasion meal prep, event set-up, hosting, clean-up and event break-down. They typically have experience in the hospitality & food, and entertainment industries. While they can supervise children with another parent present, they are best served helping the Mother with event details rather than caregiving.
$50/hour, 4 hour min.

If you are still looking, I also am in the Mill Run side with my son starting kindergarten in the fall as well. I do home daycare (have since 2002) and am a former tecaher myself. I also have a preschool class at home, which my son loves to be a part of as a "helper." I sent you a private email, but just in case I wanted to post here too. Let me know if you still need someone....
