Asked this Before, but I'll Ask Again...

Does anyone know of babysitting agencies who will provide sitters for children who are sick? Not terribly sick, but sick enough to be home from daycare?

I hate to ask for something like this, but I haven't found one and DS and I are both having problems with taking more time to care for DS at this point--he was home a lot in Oct. & Nov. and now seems to have something again. If my department was fully staffed, I wouldn't have a hard time with this, but I am down two people and I just can't be out sick for the next two weeks.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

care.com has a search option for people willing to care for sick children.

Thanks! I hadn't looked at this site yet.

I hate to do it, but I know the day is going to come when neither of us can take a full day off work--we need a back-up of some sort. Unfortunately, no family who can watch him, and friends mostly have very young children at home too.
