(edit title) Daycare for a day? Need somewhere for the little one whilst we move Options

[sam_justice]

Hi guys,

Just moved over with the wife and little one and we're moving tomorrow and were wondering if there were a day care centre anyone knew of on Sodermalm that would take the little one for the day whilst we move?
I can understand if it's too short notice!

Thanks,
Sam

Generally speaking, daycare is something you sign up for ages in advance and in most places, are placed on a long waiting list. That said, nothing stopping you from calling any of the local ones and asking about it.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! Do you know of any near this area?

There is no "drop in" daycare in Sweden - daycare is fulla/part time and gives priority to those working or studying so generally you need to apply 3-12 MONTHs in advance and pay for a month minimum - I cannot see any reputable daycare exceeding their child limits to take a child they have never met, whose parents have not applied and who will have no "inskolning"

A pity that you are late looking as you mights well have found a student who was available for a day's work and would take your child out - you could try the noticeboard but it is a risk

Or you could call companies such as Maid In Sweden who provide babysitters (at a price)

However - are you really happy about handing your child over to someone they don't know and that you have never met before? Do you not have any friends/relatives that might help out

I was thinking the same thing.
How old is the child?

It could be worth offsetting the mothers role in helping to move, with that of another person such as a removal company.
There are some companies in Stockholm that offer hired "Extra hands".
Maybe that would be better (rather than a baby sitter) ... ?
