Need A Sitter?
Check out Care.com. I was asked to review this service, and I have to say that I am impressed. You type in your location, a few requirements that you might have (age, years of experience, etc), and a list of local sitters pops up. Now many of the people availible in my area are in the young college age category and some are in the adult childcare provider range. I searched a few other areas just for fun and foun dmore teenaged babysitters as well. You can also search for tutors, pet sitters and senior care givers as well!
The great thing about this is that not only do you find people who are interested, but you get an entire list of their qualifications. With a membership you can find their references, background checks, and contact info. This saves you a lot of time in the interview process because you can weed people out so quickly!
Now, if you are interested in trying this out I have a few free memberships to give away. Just click here for a complimentary membership.
Remember, with any childcare provider search be safe, and trust your gut.
Thanks, we live in the middle of nowhere, and I have a hard time finding a sitter. Usually we take the girls to either Dans mom or my mom’s house, and they each live 30 min’s away. It would be nice to find someone closer.
