[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not call your "at home" neighbors, we are at home for many reasons but none are to be your back up childcare.  Call. white house nannies, stay home, but don't ask me because you have taken advantage of the "good neighbor" policy.[/quote]

+ my DH and I work FT and our kids went to daycare. as any parents, we had mornings when we got up and the kid was sick.  It never crossed our minds to consider bothering our SAHM next door or other neighboors staying home to care for our kids. poeple have lives and dumping a child for an all day on a friend or neighbor seems really not nice. our kids are our responsiblities only. we flew my MIL several times from the Midwest when we knew the daycare was closed (once we had an emergency, DH was leaving on a business trip and I came donw with the flu, we called her on Saturday night and she arrived on Sunday so my DH could leave). she loves our kids and is happy to watch them once or twice a year.  otherwise, once of us works from home or takes the day off.  my employer also offers as a benefit 20 days a year with care through Bright Horizon (in center or in home).  there are agencies that can find you a nanny at the last minute. it may be expensive, but this is your kid and your job, not your neighbor's or friend's.
