[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP.  Sounds INCREDIBLY stressful.

There are lots of agencies that will do short term placements which can give you time to do another search.  If you can find some local listservs put messages on there.  Ask coworkers or friends in the area to put up messages for you - my best leads have always come from those resources.  See if there are any local parenting groups to whom you could send a cry for help/recommendations/referrals, etc...

See if there is a local parents of multiples group - even though you don't have multiples they are folks who are VERY knowledgeable about preemies and related resources and could probably put you in touch with lots of local people.

You could even call a couple of the NICU units in your area and see if they know of people.  I know a lot of NICU nurses will do overnight care or things like that in their spare time.  Students in pediatric nursing programs (or even just regular nursing programs) might have a chunk of the summer off or some availability to help out in the short term.

Good luck![/quote]
