Care.com ?

So another question from the newbie here. Smile

Any of the moms out there ever use Care.com, or know anyone who has, to find a sitter? We've never actually left our daughter with a sitter before - grandma only a few times. We'd really like to find a reliable sitter here so we can actually have date nights once in a while.

Re: Care.com ?

  • I've never used it (we are fortunate enough to have friends/family near by), but I can see if a friend is willing to share their sitter if you'd like :-)  My friend and her family are moving back to their home state this summer too, so I'm sure the sitter would appreciate some replacement business.

  • I haven't. I know I have seen their name out there on a message board I used to belong to.  I think it would be a great resource, esp if you didn't have family in the area. Another resource would be area colleges and their student employment office. However, they wouldn't be pre-screened like the sitters from care.com

     

  • I've used it, but from the other perspective.  I was a nanny looking for a job.  All I can really tell you is to interview a bunch of people.  There are goods ones out there, you just may have to sort through a bunch first.  It is like online dating for a sitter.  Good Luck.

  • I think I just might give Care.com a try. Also, we aren't too far from the GVSU campus so maybe I should try their job board. Thanks!
