Occasional Child Care...Who Do You Choose For Help?

My husband and I are always stressed about finding safe and quality care for our kids on occasion. We've utilized babysitters (and still do), only to come home to a total wreck of a house and crazed kids. We've used expensive drop-in care. And, we've begged parents. How about you? What kind of care do you rely on during times regular arrangements won't work? Take this child care poll and then compare your choice with others.
