[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you take your child with you and hire a sitter on that end? The hotel may even have someone.[/quote]

Before you dismiss this as unworkable because you're going to be busy, really think it through. Reliable overnight care that you can trust for your wife and child on short notice is going to be hard to find, even with an agency. You need someone who can drive, because what happens if your wife goes to the hospital at 4pm? Someone has to pick up DC from daycare. Or if she's not back from the hospital by 6am.

If you take the child with you, you may have to ask for some flexibility from your work in terms of dinners and after-hours events, but you can get sitters for daytime and evening hours, or even find a drop-in daycare.

I agree that this is not ideal for DC, but if it is a real possibility that your wife might be in the hospital and there is no one to step in, it is a lot easier than trying to find coverage at home for all the "what-ifs."[/quote]
