You tried. That is the best you can do. Now, they need to be parents and make arrangements. There are nannies, back up sitters, high school/college kids, and centers that are all available. When they say they "can't" find care, it means they don't want to. I could call ONE center and have a week's care for my kids. I could call Monday Morning Moms and have a temp dayhome today. I could put an ad at the local college and have a slew of interviews for sitters this weekend. It doesn't take a lot of effort.
