Grandparents. Don't have any living nearby. Rent them. (I only wish you could) Good luck. I wish I had some good advice to offer...

I'm in the same boat, but I can't rely on on post care for long. Right now I'm relying on my kids' godmother, since that is the only person I know in the area.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member While stationed overseas we lived on post. My wife, through the Child Development Center (CDC), was an authorized on post/in home Family Child Care (FCC) provider. Check with the Ft. Campbell CDC if similar programs are available.

Unfortunately, there are few late night childcare options for shift workers in the same boat as you. On the local level the Army Family Action Plan (AFAP) is a good starting point. AFAP is an Army-wide program to identify critical issues concerning welfare and morale and present them to senior Army leadership for resolution. You might not be able to quickly affect change but you can start the process for future Soldiers in similar situations. Additionally, you could also write your congressman/representative. When doing so you must leave the "personal feeling" out of it, present the issue and provide some possible course of action. Good luck.

Maybe there is something on the base webpage. Might check out the local high school, could have an idea through parent teacher groups; Enlisted or office wives clubs might have some suggestions or know someone; maybe local church has a youth organization of some sort. Anyone in your unit who you might inquire ? Best wishes in finding and vetting someone(s) you are comfortable with leaving yr young one(s) with overnight..

Ft Campbell CYSS keeps an updated list of overnight sitters available. Your team is small for support but there will be garrison level resiliency groups that may be able to provide a list as well.

Not sure this is an appropriate place for this answer,but your local church becomes your family if you get active. It is a family so give and take is important. I attended Hillcrest in Hopkinsville. It was a great family when I was there. 1991_96
