How do I find a good daytime babysitter for a few mornings or afternoons (4 - 10 hours)a week while I run errands? Has anyone had success joining babysitters.com or sittercity.com?

What can I do next?

Hi E.

I joined babysitters.com but did not find it very helpful or have a lot of qualified sitters that I felt comfortable with. I ended up putting an ad in the local community college paper and had great responses, plus I had a variety of girls with various schedules so someone was always available. Hope this helps.

The yahoo moms group I am a part of has a babysitting co-op. Maybe there is one near you that you could join?

I just wanted to let you all know about a super awesome nanny I know who is looking for a job. She needs full time but doesn't mind splitting up days with more than 1 family. Her name is Najat Benanssa. She was so great with my 2 kids. She's very motherly, they loved her. She took them outside to play every day, twice a day. She played with them, she sings songs, she is a fun, responsible and nurturing lady. Her references are impeccable too. If you need someone I hope you will give her a call, She is a rare find and anyone who gets her will be very lucky!

Here is her number: Najat Benansa ###-###-####

Thanks, R. Gagnon

Hi E.,
Not sure where you live...but my name is M. Scohera and I'm the new City Manager for MommyMixer in Washington, Dc. I live in Foggy Bottom and have a group of moms meeting in Dupont Circle (at TERRA boutique) on 10/28 at 7pm. The purpose - to meet sitters in person!

I have 25 qualified sitters waiting to meet you. My business is on mamasource and you can get more information at:
www.mommymixer.com

These are very fun, efficient events designed for moms who need occasional babysitting help.

Call me if you have questions - I would love to meet you and help you out.

thanks - M. ###-###-####
