temporary care: Bay Area Second Mom, which provided nanny care at the event shared by moms who participated, thanks to Marilee's coordination. They offered price sheets for full- and part-time long-term live-out and live-in care, nanny share, on-call service ($18-$33/hour), overnight/weekend service ($125 for 8 hours, up to $295 for 24 hours) and temporary/summer care ($250/week, up to $2450/12 weeks).
