"Hi, my name is Veronica Baragas with my wigglesandgiggles.com, and I'd like to point you in the right direction to find some after school ideas. First I would check with your school and find out if they offer after school programs, or depending on the age group, what activities after school, anywhere from dance, or any kind of sport, track, football, basketball, dance. If you're in an elementary age, I would check for maybe registered home daycares in the area close to the school, where you might have the opportunity to do pickup and drop off with your local registered daycare, you can find a family or friend to help with the pickup process, and there are also plenty of nannies that you can find that do part-time work with just pickup from school. And a lot of the times that's very beneficial, because they pick-up, take your kids home, they can help with homework, after school snack, things like that, and just kind of keep things tidy and running smoothly until you get home. So definitely check into school, and find what option and what is affordable for you. So check with nanny, registered home daycare, family and friends, and the school that you attend. So there are plenty of options for after school ideas."
