I don't. Sorry not what you wanted to hear. For my little ones, I have used Kyle's former foster mom. That's for respite though. Kyle has a parent meeting on Wed at his Dev Preschool. I can't go because N has PT the hour before the meeting and Kyle has OT at his private therapist 45 minutes away. I just don't have anyone around close that is licensed. I don't know any foster parents around here. Hoping there will be someone that I can connect with at the meeting next week.

I am having that problem this Wednesday, had a sitter all lined up before I committed, but now she can't.
I am going to attend the Avon meeting too, maybe we can figure out a way to say hello!
I'm fortunate to have some friends that are also licensed and we trade off child care for appointments, court and such. Other than that we never have a sitter. I had one lined up as a mother's helper and she backed out at the last minute. Ugh! I quit trying!
I'm home during the day and actually provide childcare for one little girl in addition to any I am currently fostering. I use my mom and neighbor as back up care and have one fostermom that we trade care during training hours.
I know! Childcare is soo frustrating. I pay really, really well and I either can't find someone or I do have someone but she doesn't give them their meds (little guy is asthmatic and needs a pancreas) or go over the spelling/reading list (honestly less than 10 minutes). I pay like its a "real" job why ca't they treat it as one?
