She's in daycare so if they're closed or if they're sick we usually try to stay home of we can manage it before asking my ILs.
DH has a hard time asking them!

I'll put out an SOS on Facebook. One perk of growing up in the homeschooled community is how many homeschooled teen girls I still know, or my mom knows and are more than willing to babysit in a pinch. They've been lifesavers.
I can also ask my sister - but I would have to bring J to her and she lives 30 minutes in the opposite direction. And I also ask my mom.

i have a couple of babysitters i can call on from the past plus i imagine i will call our old nanny - but most of them would likely be unavailable during weekdays, so then it is me or DH.

My husband works as a civilian for the military, so our little ones can go to the military child development center hourly care. It is a godsend. $4 an hour for excellent care.

We don't really have backup. Our arrangement is when daycare is closed or DD is sick, DH stays home w/ DD on days that I have to teach. On days when I'm not teaching classes, then I cancel my other meetings and stay home with DD. In an absolute pinch we can call our next door neighbors, but I hate doing that.

We also have access to backup daycare or a nanny but we haven't used it yet. I took a day off when daycare was closed right before Labour Day. We can usually manage a day off or work from home if we need to.

We are.
If it's going to be more than 2 days, my mom would come into town.
