Looking for Nanny or Infant Daycare near East Richmond Heights
Hi Mamas!
My daughter is due on Aug 8, 2024, and we're looking for a nanny, nanny share, or infant daycare in the area (i.e., East Richmond Heights, El Cerrito, Berkeley, Pinole, El Sobrante). I will be taking 5 months off for maternity leave and returning to work in early January 2025. I'm feeling a bit behind in the childcare search as I know you can get waitlisted for quite a long time, but I'm hoping for the best. We will need childcare 3-5 days a week. Do any of you have recommended options in the area? Is it more difficult to find childcare for part time than full time?
Thank you!

Our daughter (who is my second child) is at Chikiland Daycare, located in Richmond near the DelNorte Bart Station. Not sure of the availability in the timeframe you asked for but this place has been amazing for us. It's a small home daycare and the proprietor, Maria, is a wonderful, warm, caring person and our daughter has thrived under her care. Most places have you pay for a full time spot, based on my understanding.
Our preschool (The good earth school) has part of day and part time options, but they don't start til 18 months.
