Hi! I totally understand how you feel! I suggest going to http://amarillo.craigslist.org/ You can look through the posts that are offering nannies and in home choldcare, or you can post your own add in the CHILDCARE or JOB postings and give all your details and expectations. I have seen several posts for both, and you can also request references to get exactly what you are looking for. Best part is, it is local and is totally free to post and browse adds. YOu just have to join the craigslist community, also free. I have to say, that I love craiglist because you can do some many searches on it. There is everything from group chat to for sale, all LOCAL! The one downfall is that there are scammers out there, so if it sounds to good to be true, you know it is- on the for sale stuff. Anyway, good luck, and I hope you get some use out of this! Best wishes!
