Infant daycare is extremely hard to find in my opinion. I actually started looking early in my pregnancy and found someone during my leave but at the last minute I changed and was able to find someone else. I checked daycare again recently and nobody wants to take my 1-1/2 and infant. Since you have one infant maybe it won't be too bad but if you start now you'll find the "ideal" person. Remember to contact the Dakota Country Liscensing Center who will give you a list of daycare liscensed homes within a certain mile radius and you can then do a background check on the provider. You'll find that even though they interview well on the phone or in person they may have some hidden secrets or other issues that have been reported by people.
