I am in need of daycare for my daughter......She is 10 months and was wondering if anyone knew of a great, reliable babysitter in the OC that I could look into. I am just having a really hard time trying to find someone I can rely on and trust.

Where are you located in the OC? My in home daycare provider is AWESOME!!!!!!!! The kids love her and she really cares about them!!! I don't know if she is accepting anymore but she doesn't have a lot of kids. Bryson is the only full time kid then she has a girl and two boys that are off and on during the week. PM me and I can send you her email.

p.s. this is pits4ever I just noticed Rob never signed off.

Well, I am looking for around Costa Mesa, Orange, Tustin....Maybe even around Newport, Huntington or irvine. I see you are in Garden Grove. Is that where she is located?

I was told craigslist.org
they have a childcare section.









btw this is michelle, darrin forgot to log out. damn guys!

We live in Garden Grove but I work over off jefferson and orangthorpe in anaheim. she is right down the street at lakeview and orangethorpe.

i know the kinderkare is big out here in OC too. sorry, if you were 909/951 asking, i could DEFINATELY tell you about an awesome place...

Well I live in the 951....But work in the 714...So it is absoulty a place that was AWESOME and I totally trusted them I would seriously consider the 909/951

We take our son to a woman's house down in Temecula. But that sounds like it's out of your way.

I understand though, it's hard to find someone that you like and trust.
We lucked out.

well the wife and i moved from the crown town to canyon lake.(msmxracer)Its damn hard to find some you can trust with your pride and joy!Thanks for all the replys everyone.Zippy where in the 909 951 you talking about

We have an great one in Murrieta!

lakeview and orangethorpe? Is it mrs Joan?

Nope Marji Munivez.

Used to work with her husband Hector at United Rentals. Couldn't ask for a better person to watch my child! She truly cares about the kids and NEVER have I seen the kids want to leave her house they have so much fun!

There is a number you can call (don't know it off the top) but you can check the validity of the childcare license of the provider. Very important to make sure there are no complaints against them. and go with your gut. Anytime you leave your child you will feel weary but you should hang out there for awhile and get a feel for the provider's interaction with the other children and when you do start using daycare do drop in visits unannounced. I still do it from time to time even though I love my daycare lady. But I also like to hang out with her.
If I did not have to work I would love to stay home with my son..

Turbo, Where in Murrieta?

Does anyone know the number to call to see if the daycare license is valid and if they have had any complaints against them?

Depends on where it is.....

the one for around orange county is....

Community Care Licensing-ChildCare
750 The City Dr #250
Orange, CA 92868
(714) 703-2800

When you talk to a daycare provider they will give you a packet with all that information and their licence #
