Desperately Need a Babysitter/nanny!

I am frazzled! I am frustrated with our babysitter sitting and watching the children. I need a babysitter with energy and enthusiasm for children. My children are very eager learners and active. Any suggestions? I need a babysitter on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am-5pm to watch them at our house. I am a little flexible on the times.

What can I do next?

I've had good luck with Craigslist and just got a great new babysitter from here. I would put an ad on with what you are looking for in terms of a babysitter(get specific) then start interviewing those who apply. If you want any advice on what I ask/state in interviews, let me know!

All the best!

you don't say where you are located.
I have a small in home daycare in Oak park and have an opening if you would be interested in your children being around other children.
You can e-mail me for more info if interested.

Hi,

You should try my service www.SitterBuzz.com. I am a mother of two and founded the service because I find that finding a babysitter can be so challenging.

SitterBuzz is basically an event you attend where you meet 20-25 college student babysitters for the Chicago area. You do all the informal interviews in one hour and then you take home a Buzz Binder which is a book of all the babysitter's profiles. The profiles include their contact info, experience, availability schedules, and a photo. Once you go home, you have a book of babysitters you can call anytime. If you want more information or want to register for the event that is on August 21, 2008 checkout www.SitterBuzz.com

Thanks,
E.
