Temporary/September Childcare Available

My family is relocating in early October so my husband can attend graduate school. I have many years of experience with children from infants through pre-teens, including working in a daycare center for 6 years, working as a nanny, tons of babysitting, and most importantly, being a mama.
This Friday (9/5) is my last day at my job as a buyer and copywriter for a toy catalog. I will have a lot of time on my hands for the remainder of September, and am available for any temporary childcare needs either in my home (inner SE) or yours. I have a very sweet 4.5 year old daughter who loves other children. Great references available on request, rates negotiable and based on situation.

Thanks!

Childcare Needed for 2 1/2 year old

Okay Mamas,

I need help!  We just moved here and live in Orenco area.  I will be working full time down by Airport Way.  I would love to find a place for my little one somewhere in between, even downtown.  I have called all downtown facilites and no one has any openings.  Does anyone know of any in-home facilities?  I hate having to leave her in Hillsboro while my husband works downtown and I am all the way across town.  Any recommendations?  Thanks!
