A.S.
I found a wonderful babysitter through the Edmond Home Child Care Association. Just call ###-###-#### and they will let you know who has openings and then you can schedule a visit. Usually the providers who are involved in this association are pretty good, since they get continuing education and are willing to be out in the community of day care providers.
First Nazarene Church on Boulevard in Edmond does a nice job with day care and Camelot Child Development Center on Santa Fe, just north of Memorial is great too, especially for the little ones.
As far as the cost goes, it is hard to find a good, cheap sitter. For a one-year-old, the average rate is about $135 a week. I know that is more than you want to spend, and you might be able to work it out to pay less for a great daycare situation, but this is not the place to skimp. If you have to take out a student loan to make ends meet, do it. Your baby is so worth it and it is worth it to you not to worry about her.
Good luck!
