1. Nanny Professionals
City: St. Paul, MN
Category: Child Care
Telephone: (651) 221-0587
Address: 2456 Arkwright St.
Description: Many of the hundreds of churches in the Twin Cities metro area offer weekday and/or weekend day care for young children. It would be difficult to list every church that offers day care, just because these programs are sometimes offered only in the summer or are even canceled due to lack of community support. Your best bet is to call the churches directly to find out if they are offering day care—church-based care generally costs about $150 per week for full-time care.
