Anyone available or know a last minute solution? I'm really struggling. Just need someone to play with him while I go be sick for a few hours

Oh no! If you live near I could have your LO in my home daycare for a bit, but I have 3 kids plus my 3 right now and cannot leave. I’m at Washington and Taylor

@roband811 Hi Amy, I’m a local nanny. I’m currently working with my kiddos I nanny for but I could come help out after 6pm if that works for you. Sorry you’re feeling under the weather, I know how it can be with a young one. I have a 7 month old

I don’t have any idea for a sitter but if you try to get over that stomach bug, I HIGHLY recommend Bio K plus probiotics. They sell it at Whole Foods. The river forest location probably delivers to your address for free with prime. My SIL used it for nasty but she picked up in Mexico and got immediate relief. I hope you feel better!

Oh man, I would totally help if I could (I just had another mom help me out this morning)! Moms need to take care of each other. But I am home with a kid with the flu and may have been infected myself. wouldn't want to get your 10 month old sick. :-( Hope someone is able to help!

Thank you all. I got lucky and a neighbor was available. She came and gave him dinner while I got through the worst of it. That came out of nowhere and I was violently ill. I have no family nearby. I'm so grateful this group exists. I really appreciate you guys!
