How to look for a reliable or trusty babysitter

I was having a hard time concentrating on my work because my son has become extremely active and only sleeps 1 hour during naptime. I was thinking of getting a babysitter, and a friend suggested that I should try Sitter City because that's where she found her son's babysitter and she's been raving about her. So I signed-up and found someone based on her ratings and I've been using her since. My son totally loves her. She's also very organized and has Montessori teaching units. So I guess I can recommend this website to moms out there.

Yes, you can safely recommend Sitter City. In fact, you can find them located in Butterfly's Child Care section, under resources.

Thats great to hear!!  I am looking for a childcare position, for myself.  I am a member of SitterCity as well.  I also have the background check done on me.  If anyone needs help, please let me know.  At the moment I am working one full day a week in Fort Lee.  Taking care of a 2 1/2 year old little girl.  And I also work most Saturday nites in Tenafly, for 3 cute little boys under the age of 6!!

 

Thank you
