have you used care.com or similar?

we need to find an occasional babysitter and our usual folks are no longer an option (moved).  have you used care.com or something similar or have other ideas on a reliable way to find a sitter? i hate to leave my kids with a stranger..... but we are out of options... 

Re: have you used care.com or similar?

  • My brother and SIL used it to find their nanny. They interviewed a few people and chose her. They were happy with the people they found.

  • If you belong to a church, ask the youth minister. I know our youth ministry kids make awesome sitters for us.

  • We have used former daycare teachers as sitters and we've recently started using teenagers who live in our neighborhood.

    I have also asked neighbors with kids for recommendations.

  • When we first moved here I found a great babysitter through care.com  She even brought art supplies with her so they'd do a project while we were out.
