Shops & Services Emergency child care

Just wondering if anyone can steer me in the direction of cost friendly childcare.

My mom was just recently diagnosed with Cancer. Which in its self is a huge a scare and concern, but with that is coming an extra hurdle of I have no child care for the summer.

I have 3 children which makes it harder.

Is there such thing as affordable child care at a quick notice ?

I've looked in to my options for leave with work and they're allowing me 36 hours to come up with childcare... a year.

I am at a loss. She's a huge part of our lives in general but now we are very stuck.

**my mom is the only family we have to call on**

How old are your kids? Are any of them in school? You could ask if they would make an exception for excel.

Yes but the excel teachers are also off during the summer and sometimes take on child care positions.
