Anyone ever used Sittercity.com?

It is beginning to look more and more like we are going to have to take Ridley with us to the wedding in NJ that we are attending at the end of August.  All of our babysitting options here have fallen through and we are probably going to have to hire a babysitter to stay with her at the hotel.  Has anyone ever used sittercity.com?  It seems to be on the up-and-up, but I always prefer personal recommendations.

Alternatively, if anyone has a high school or college aged relative in the Fairfield, NJ area who would be interested in babysitting, let me know!

Re: Anyone ever used Sittercity.com?

  • I have a bunch of college friends that are living in nearby Fairfield these days (one of which is a 1st grade teacher), as well as some family friends, so I will put the feelers out to see if anyone would be available to babysit or have any recommendations. What are the dates for the wedding again?

  • Seriously?  That is just awesome!  The date of the wedding is August 27.  It starts at 7pm so we would probably need someone around 6pm.  We are staying at the Crowne Plaza on Route 46 and the wedding and reception are at The Grove in Cedar Grove.

    I assume that we would need someone until about 1am.  We could pay $15 an hour.  Ridley usually goes to bed at 8pm, but that probably won't work in a hotel room.  We can provide food (via room service) and will have games, books, toys for Ridley to play with.  They could also use the pool and Ridz Crackers can watch Nick Jr.

    Thanks SO MUCH Mollie!
