Childcare help!

Hey blogger friends!
I'm in need of some help/advice for those of my readers in the Indy area!  I've been looking for childcare options for little Ella when I go back to work in the summer.  I feel like a lost puppy right now -- just don't know what to do.  So i'm asking for any advice or suggestions.  Have you used any daycares in Indianapolis/surrounding areas, at home daycare, etc?  If so, what did you like about them? Dislikes?

One problem is that i'm only looking for part-time spots.  I will probably work 3-4 days/week and will not need care 5 days/week.  Also, 1-2 of those days I would possibly work 1-9 so I would only need care from 12ish-5pm when Chris could pick her up.

So far I have looked into Kinder Care, Learning Time, and 2 at-home sitters referred by a friend.  Have any of you used either Kinder Care or Learning Time?  Or any other facilities?  Or, any at-home suggestions that would be near Eagle Creek area (would be willing to drive to near areas).

Thanks in advance!  Any suggestions appreciated!

Love, 
Concerned Pregnant Mommy :)

I only work twice a week girl. I would be more than happy to be a regular helper if you need it! I am totally on the wrong side of town, but any time you are in need, I am an option! Annie does great with otherbabies!

But we use a person who comes to our home (for right now she comes to our home). She is a mother of 5 or 6 adult children. It's awesome, except when you go with a single person as opposed to many people (like in a daycare) you have to have last minute options in case she gets sick or goes on vacation, etc. On the other hand, I feel SO safe with my sitter. It's worth the peace of mind for me.

Thanks Katie! If we lived closer I would love for you to watch her. Where did you find your sitter that comes to your house? Sounds like a great idea!
