What is your babysitter back-up plan?

Kids are sick and home from school.

Nanny or regular sitter is sick.

Grandparents, friends are at work…

Ugh.

It is important for every family to have a go-to sitter service,group or person that you can rely on for those last minute curve balls.  Check out this article on Daily Worth.They recommend strategizing, network and budgeting. I agree, be sure to have atleast two go-to sitters or agencies on speed dial in case the need arises,where you can call one of them and pretty much be guaranteed a sitter for thenext day.

Last Thursday I was at dinner around 10pm when I received thefrantic message, OUR NANNY IS SICK…HELP! Luckily we had a sitter at her placeat 8:30am the next day. But to alleviate stress be prepared with your back-up!
