[quote=Anonymous]Neither DH nor I can really telework, so if we both have to be at work, we typically try to move meetings around, turn meeting into a conference call, or split the day. DH does have bright horizons back up care which includes a nanny service but from speaking to friends and neighbors, it sounds like the last minute nannies are not very good at all, and I haven't met anyone who has hired one when they were away from the home (most people can work from home and get the backup nanny to watch the kid while they're still at home). As a last resort, DH can take our older child into work and set her in front of his computer to watch TV, but we can't do the with our three year old. Fortunately it hasn't been an issue yet where we can't split the day.[/quote]
