With regard to last minute childcare, I found 2 not-very-good solutions:
1. Here in Pittsburgh, there is a sick child daycare that you pay hourly for. Your child can't be running a fever > 102, have conjunctivitis or have diarrhea that can't be contained in a diaper. Other than that, they can go there.
2. I pay for membership in a Rent-a-mom service. They can send a certified nanny to your home within 4 hours. Definitely not ideal, and I haven't yet used them yet. I'm very nervous about leaving my child with someone I have just met.
