temporary nanny.... how do I find one?

[Newhere2]

Hi,

This is something I've never done before and am not sure how to go about it in the best, most suitable and most cost effective way.

I think that I will need to find a temporary nanny to do school pickups, homework and dinner for a short term maybe two weeks. How do I go about finding someone?

thanks

thanks both I will check out the agencies. I have advertised for a mothers helper before and was really successful in finding a lovely person to help me. However this time as I won't be around I think i like the security of an agency booking. Does that make sense to those in the know?
