I Moved to Milwaukee 6 months ago and I am in desperate need of a 24 hour daycare for my son, I used to have a great lady in Nebraska who lived to be with children and it showed with 6 little boys 2-6 years old in her home quiet as a mouse and being polite! I knew some of their parents and they didn't learn that from them LOL! Are there any angels in Milwaukee ? PLEASE HELP!!

24 hour child care? I only know of these people called "parents". Or maybe you can call Jo-Lo and use her "nanny".

Or maybe this person has a job that makes her work 24 hours on....like a EMT, fire fighter, etc. -

this response is totally inappropriate.
to the OP, please disregard this snarky response. I am sure one of the many caring parents on this board will respond with helpful information. don't let this one response discourage you from continuing on this site. -
Ok, so back to the question at hand. Are you looking for an on-call provider used when you need one or more like a nanny?

Charity - welcome to Milwaukee!
I'm going to move your thread to the Child Care Board - I think you might get more suggestions there.
However, a bit of clarification would be helpful. What do you mean by "24 hour care"? Do you work 24 hours on/24 hours off? Are you looking for a live in care provider who will be on call 24/7? Did you mean 2 - 4 and forgot the dash? More info here will be helpful. -

Why is it that this response does not surprise me? ::)
I believe there are places that do 1st and 2nd shift. I don't of any around the clock. The WI Dept of Children and Families website has a directory you may be able to use for that information.

My word! My account must have been hacked. Please disregard that snarky comment.
Have you checked Craig's List?
The most of luck to you! -
There used to be a center on 124th and Beloit that advertised "open 24hrs". I never looked into it because I never needed it, but perhaps that's what you're looking for? Otherwise, I have a college girl that we use for late nights when DH and I go out, she has also mentioned that she can do overnights.

I thought she might be looking for third shift..24 hr care meaning maybe she needs second or third shift. I have thought about offering this kind of care in home so this will be an interesting thread to me.

If you decide to go for it (and are in the New Berlin/Brookfield/West Allis/Tosa area) let me know! An in-home day care that offers hours past 6 is definitely something I would be interested in! DH works 2nd so I had to give up some of my hours to make sure DD is picked up from daycare by 5. -
Sorry I wasn't more specific. I don't need him to be in daycare 24 hours a day, but it feels like it. I am a single mother, and I work full time, and I go to collage full time. My son Is 5 so he is already in school most of the day.This is not how I hopped raising my son would go, but I know in the end when I have a degree and I can obtain a job that can support us it will be worth it.
(as for "that Skanky" comment) I challenge you to imagine what it is like to have to do this on your own. This is more information than you deserve, but I will tell you I am 21, yes I said my son is 5. Make a crack about me being 15 and pregnant if you want. You don't know the life I have lived, and if you want to trash on me because I had sex when I was 15 then don't hold those comments back from any of the people you love (and know were having sex that young.) Along with that don't bother to tell me good job for keeping my son, for doing this alone. for not bringing man after man in and out his life. Trying my hardest to be a good mother even though i never had one. And for trying to get a degree so that one day I wont need assistance from the state.
All of my Family except my sister lives in Nebraska. She has been helping me immensely but she it getting her Doc At Marquette, so she is teaching freshman Philosophy and taking classes. She already has so much on her plate I cant be asking her to help me like she dose. and she is moving out soon so I wont have her as an option any more. That is why I need to find a day care that is open probably till midnight, and i figured the only ones that are open that late are probably open 24hrs. I am a costumer consultant at a car dealer ship, I only make 8$ hr but its a respectable job, but I need help. I don't need you to put me down for not being able to be a stay at home mother.
Do you think! if I had the choice to be at home for my son when he gets off school, and be able to eat dinner with him more than 2 nights a week, to be able to tuck him in and be the one reading him bed time stories, I would chose to be any where else! It broke my heart the other day when He said he loved my roommate the most, well she has a husband and she gets to work and 8-4:30 and she gets to do those things for him! I am forever great full that they are in our life helping me but it is very demanding on them and they didn't sign up for this. And they need a break too.
I don't know what made you think that it would be a good Idea to post that comment, maybe you had a bad weekend and thought this would be a good place to snip at someone? Perhaps your husband didn't buy you the right perfume for valentines day? or took you to the wrong restaurant?? Is he cheating on you? Well, that was the valentines day present i got. And your comment was the last thing I really needed to hear today! Thank you for REMINDING me that I'm alone, and that I'm not there for my son and that someone else is raising him I all most for got that about MY life!
Finally for all the people that were helpful and supportive thank you very much and I'm sorry for flipping out. ....
I suppose it's cyber space, that's what happens here right. You can say whatever you want because its anonymous and there are no re-persuasions. .. or are there. -
Good for you! I was a single Mom at 20, and I know how you feel. You try to do your best, but you will always have someone that will try to knock you down. I give you credit for what you are doing, it's NOT easy. Hell being a married parent isn't easy. Your son will grow up with a greater respect for you, because of the sacrifices you are making. Keep your chin up, you will get there!

Don't worry what corporate mommy says...she inserted foot in mouth.
but where do you live, or is there a location near work or school etc that would be an area you are looking for care? -
Maybe what you need is a new roommate then. You sure dont want to have to move your little boy around at midnight!
Gee, when you said you wee looking for 24 hr care, I GOT IT. I assumed you had odd hrs you needed care for. It wouldnt take a rocket scientist or corporate level worker bee to figure that out.
I dont usually get involved in stupidity, but CM says her account must have been hacked?
Come on "corporate" (Ive always wondered about that name. You do occaisionally exhibit a superiority complex). Do you have real enemies here who are out to get you and make you look bad?
I cant imagine someone hacking in and posting snarky comments.
Maybe sherman hacked in.
sometimes CM is very helpful. Maybe she has an alter-ego who posts the crappy comments.

Thanks Packerfan2271, mom2c, and springtimemomma :). I live in Milwaukee around the Marquette aria, and although his school and my work are in cudhay I would like to find something near our home. :B
