Childcare

would you take a child for a few weeks only?

i may have to work in another town for a few weeks this summer and would need childcare while there. do any of you take children on a temporary basis. it would be 6-8 weeks about and part time only. would it be unreasonable to ask for this or should i just try and find a nanny who could cover me for this time. can't really afford the nanny option but would obviously do it if there was no other option.
thanks for your help

PC - Let's do this with class shall we? Pistols at dawn? lol

But to answer worktostaysane - I think yes, absolutely most c/ms would do this for you.
