I am a single mother and I desperately need some daycare in the San Jose, CA area. My provider quit on my a week ago. I need someone full time for this week and then 2x a week after that for the next month. I have no idea what to do. I have nowhere to turn and my child is not fully potty trained or else I would take him to a church (or other religious gp) organization.
Don't know if this exists for your area, but you could try sittercity.com. It's a website with lots of sitters posting their availability. You can find out a lot about the person and hopefully find someone who would work out for a week.
Perhaps also try a student nearby? Someone who just finished the semester at Stanford? Or another college?
