How do you find safe childcare when out of town? There’s a concert I want to attend in Denver, where I don’t live. I need someone to watch my son, and it looks like I might have to hire a sitter.
I don’t have family/friends that can travel with us. I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving him with a sitter in our hometown because of the distance. I looked for some sort of daycare and didn’t find anything.
I don’t know anyone in the city I can ask for recommendations. How, if at all, would be the best way to find reliable childcare?
(Just to be clear, if I can’t find a situation I feel confortable with I am not going to the concert. I’m just reaching out for ideas)

Hi - I live in the Denver metro area. I started signing up with a service called NannyPoppinz for backup care when our regular in-home daycare provider is sick or on vacation. I didn't get through the whole process last spring when I checked this type of thing, but I thought I'd let you know - their website is: Nanny Poppinz Corporate, Inc. [www.nannypoppinz.com](http://www.nannypoppinz.com/) 1-877-262-6694
FQ
Any suggestions on finding a nanny? I have 7 month old twins and have no luck finding affordable day care. What do most people pay for daycare and/or a nanny? Any suggestions on finding a nanny? All responses I had for a nanny wanted to bring their kids.

NannyPoppinz.com is a great agency. It should be like $15 an hour for two kids not sure if it's more nowadays .. I was a nanny for this company many moons ago and took care of two girls for $15 an hour.
Hey, so I am looking to nanny or babysit this summer. I have tons of experience in this area, however I have seemed to really not get much luck with signing up to care.com…. does anyone have any other recommendations of where I can look or know of families looking for a sitter etc?!! All advice would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!

www.nannypoppinz.com I think is better than Care.com
Does anyone know of a GOOD, CLEAN, NICE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOB daycare near the Holly and Fenton area??
Or even better, a place I could find a certified care taker nanny that takes childcare assistance?????

It's a nanny agency. They're home base is located in Howell, but they have nannies all over. Just go to nannypoppinz.com

You can call nanny Poppinz and find out if any of their nannies accept the assistance. You can also look on the dhs website of all the daycares in our area that accept the assistance.
