<human>: I'm going to be a parent soon. What do I need to know about child care?
<bot>: 
1. You should research the local area for reputable daycare centers or nannies that offer quality child care services.
2. Make sure you find out what kind of hours and days they are open, as well as any special needs your child may have.
3. Ask friends and family members who have children if they can recommend anyone they trust.
4. Check with your employer's human resources department to see if they provide any child care benefits.
5. Research government-subsidized child care programs in your area.
6. Consider joining a local playgroup or other social network for parents with young children.
