Hello...I have a 2.5 year old daughter and a 5 month old son. My husband and I are making the big move to Naperville (Hunters Woods Sub..Naper Blvd and Bailey area)after 12 years of city life. We are looking at a number of possibilities for kids, however we aren't sold on placing the 5 month old in Day Care just yet. We are planning on introducing the 2.5 year old to school/day care for maybe 3 to 5 days a week at either Cedarbrook Academy or The Compass School (any comments on either would be great.) Ideally we would love to find a nanny or even better a nannyshare or stay at home mom near our subdivision to look after the 5 month old full-time and maybe a couple days a week with the 2.5 year old. Any input or possibilities would be greatly appreciated....We are extremely flexible, and ideally would love to have our children around other children (hence the move to Naperville.) Thanks.

What can I do next?

I have been using a home day care right in your neighborhood. The caregiver is a former 2nd and 3rd grade teacher turned SAHM. She is off of Cassin (near Naper Blvd. and 87th St.) We have been attending her daycare for about a year. I have a 3 year old girl and a 21 month old boy. She is great with the kids, they do a lot of learning activities and fun play. They have nap space, a play room, and a great back yard. They take field trips to the children's museum and the zoo (she utilizes a helper for these trips when needed). She keeps her daycare small and managable. She serves health nutritious meals. You should check her out. Her number is ###-###-####. Oh she is also helping me with transportation to a preschool program 1-2 days per week.

Hi J.,

I am a Local Childcare Coordinator for Cultural Care Au Pair. My area covers part of Naperville. Have you considered an au pair? An au pair is a young person between the age of 18 & 26 who comes from another country (Germany, Poland, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Sweden, etc.). She lives in your home and provides up to 45 hours of childcare. The schedule can be completely flexible as long as it doesn't exceed 45 hours per week/10 hours per day. I currently have 20 host families in my group. The average cost is just $285. Please contact me if you would like more info.!

I know of a possible nanny who may still be looking for a new family. I can either email you her name & number, or if you email me yours I will have her contact you directly.

Congratulations on your move to Naperville, I wish you good luck!

I am a certified Montessori teacher, and live in the very eastern part of Aurora near Fox Valley Mall. I have started a home-based Montessori program for pre-schoolers. My program is quite flexible, and includes both full/half day as well as 3 or 5 days a week arragements.

Please contact me at ###-###-#### if you are interested in sending your child to a Montessori environment.

Thanks in advance,

I also have a 2 Yr old who goes to Peter Pan(again 1 mile from where you live). The pre-school is awesome.

Look forward to hearing from you either way,
