Decline the request.
The first request was a courtesy. The second request - the company will know you're not doing the work hired and being paid to do.

I would not snitch.
Also, a huge number of daycares and aftercares have closed, so I think some patience is still in order. People do need to figure out dedicated care for small kids, but having an 8 year old at home reading between 3 and 5 pm is not a big deal. (My kids are in camp/school for my whole work day, but only because I can work 7 to 3.)

This is a big MYOB.
If the person is asking you to "cover" for them you can politely decline, But it's not your place to snitch to your boss about the lack of childcare.

If it's affecting their performance, then yes, say something. If it's not, then mind your own business.

OP - I get you. I’ve been tempted to say something as well. One coworker has a five and a six-year-old and his entire summer childcare plan was teleworking.
Another lady and a different office watches her five-month-old granddaughter.
Day cares are open. There’s no reason for them to not have some form of child care at this point in time.

You sound like a prize, OP.
Get promoted so you can make it your actual business instead of just being the annoying colleague.

Have compassion. You may need it one day.
Compassion went out the door on January 1, 2021.

At what point would you tell your boss if you knew your coworkers didn't have childcare and had no intention to do so when school starts.
The company said childcare had to be arranged during work hours for kids under 10.
I know coworkers have lied about this. Would you tell?
Would you tell only if they stopped pulling their weight?
