Ask around your neighborhood, any teenage neighbors?

[deleted]

Do you have a local Facebook group? We have a “ladies of my town” and you get to kinda know some people and you can get their teens. There is also a group just for childcare.

If you are looking for college students, ask a person at a local university, to get you an education major.

If you are familiar with a local (reputable) daycare you can ask their administrators for their unscheduled or off hours staff availability.

I find that great daycare admins have done due diligence when hiring and they are background checked, finger printed etc.

Not sure why this would be downvoted this is the way. Find your town/county and make a post. You’ll have to be proactive. Do interviews and get references.

For a once in awhile, date night sort of thing or with a routine schedule? And for how many kids/ages? (For a once in awhile thing and somewhat older children, ask around the neighborhood and see if any older high school/college kids with younger siblings would do it. For babies and multiple kids, maybe check out care.com or Nextdoor)

It’s the same way people find contractors and doctors. It’s more challenging to evaluate true
