[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a couple of levels of backup options, but one that I've used (and that can help within a few hours often) is MetroParentRelief. I've had them send someone the same day, and pretty easily with even night before notice. I definitely would use your neighborhood listserv also - not that it can help you for today, but let folks know that you're looking to establish some back-up care options and want to know if there's anyone in the neighborhood who might be: - a college kid w/ occasional days free - a family with a live-in nanny or housekeeper who might be able to pick up some occasional hours - a retired person who could be an option in a pinch for even part of a day - a professional nanny who might be willing to take your kids for some portion of time (with payment and their employer's approval of course) etc... This is easily one of the most stressful parts of parenting for me. I feel your pain![/quote]
