I actually belong to an in-home providers group where I could get you some names of ladies doing daycare. I am just starting a small daycare in my home in Olathe (getting licensed right now); however, I am not sure yet if I am going to keep newborns yet or not. I have a 5 month old right now, and that is the only reason I say this. I really want kids her age or older, so as to be able to devote good quality time with each of them. I do know of a lady who strictly watches infants. It is easier for her to do this, because she doesn't have to worry about getting the older ones out and about. She is able to strictly focus on infant care/play. I may change my mind by the time your little one would be ready for daycare, because my daughter would then be mobile. Anyway, feel free to e-mail me back on this site and I will then get back with you to give you my personal info. so you can contact me. Good luck, I think it is great that you are already gathering sources for later.
Take care, A. R.
