There is an under-abundance of quality, responsible child care providers in our society. You'll likely find this is true in almost every community. For all the dual breadwinner households in the United States, there need to be great individuals to take excellent care of their children.
This has been a constant source of stress for me in my own life. Not just getting "someone", but getting a really great daycare provider. A sitter would have been great, too (as opposed to a daycare center), but I had more than my share of irresponsible individuals early on, and couldn't afford to endanger my job (again) because of it.
The point is this--if you need money NOW and you are a mature, responsible person who is dedicated to taking great care of children in your care, you can probably find someone who needs your help--and will pay you for it, of course--to watch their kids while they go to work.
The hours can be any time, depending on the needs and working hours of the parents, and responsibilities may vary.
A word of caution: Before you take on this kind of position, make sure to find out the legal requirements in your state, and make sure you are not violating any laws or regulations by doing this kind of work.
That being said, this is the kind of job that you may be able to get fairly quickly because it is an absolute necessity in our society today, not a luxery we can skimp on to save a few bucks.
Another temp job that is often available, in addition to substitute teaching jobs with the local public schools, is substitute bus drivers and cafeteria workers. Check with your local board of education.
