child care resource & referral agencies are located in each
California county. They can provide the names of licensed day
care homes and child care centers in your area. Most R&R
agencies also provide other services to parents and child care
providers, which may include lists of babysitters (but not nannies),
information on subsidized child care, and even parenting classes
and workshops.
