Hire A Baby Sitter Or Nanny
Babysitters and Nanny’s Oh My!
Need a babysitter or nanny? Finding them online is a great way to speed up the process. But what about how safe can it really be? With the internet at your fingertips you can find and do reference and background checks on potential babysitters and nanny’s.
There are 3 great services that connect Nannys and Babysitters with the people that need them.
Pros and Cons of using Online Sitter Services
One of the top Pros is finding a sitter is extremely easy, No more asking friends and family about watching your kids or if they have or know a good babysitter (like they were going to share their babysitter LOL!).
Another Pro is you get to do background checks on the potential sitters and nanny’s that you want to hire, easily find out if they are reliable without going through any hassles. This is great so you KNOW that your child is in great care with people you can trust (no more calling 20 times to find out how your kids are doing).
Larger poll of sitters you can go through, (don’t like this one how about another one?) Want specific training? CPR? Special Needs Child? There is a search you can do that allows you to find by training, location, type of sitter etc. You get what you want instead of settling for a babysitter thats available. Didn’t find the sitters you were looking for? There are alerts to let you know when sitters and nanny’s with certain specifics you are looking for are available.
Another nice thing is that you can interact with other parents, get discounts on baby products and you get monthly newsletters.
OK for the bad, one of the major cons using these services is that they have a monthly subscription fee. Running a website of this type of magnitude costs money, and they are providing an invaluable service. Pricing between the sitter services are about the same, and you can sign up for the month, quarter or year.
If you woul like to save some cash you can always use a sittercity promo code or a care.com promotion code.
Of course you have specific questions for each service so here are some resources for you!
