Has anyone used Sittercity to find a babysitter? What about SeekingSitters? I'm thinking about signing up for one or both. I'm looking for a baby sitter I can use occasionally in the evenings, as well as full-time child care--preferably at someone's house that is caring for another child.
My daughter cries when the sitters from Seeking Sitters walk out the door. I've used them several times and each time, except once, we got the same sitter. Their sitters bring a backpack full of toys and craft and make sure that your children aren't watching tv...that they're engaged and happy. My home was tidy when I returned (which shocked me). I would definitely recommend Seeking Sitters to anyone who needs a safe/reliable sitter.

J.,
I"ve used sittercity before, and I've got mixed feelings about it. I found a very good sitter on that site, but I learned through a few sitter interviews that that site sells your posts and gives out your personal information. I was not expecting to get that kind of an experience with a site that you had to pay for to post wanted ads and I was very displeased. Just be cautious and good luck finding a good sitter for your little ones!
I don't like the idea of having to pay for referrals...
I tried one time to use SeekSitters to come in every friday so I could work from home. The day we scheduled, she didn't show up. I called the owner and she said I didn't reserve that day or something. She ended up refusing my business because I was difficult to work with. Hmmm...seems like they were the ones that were difficult to work with........the sitter never showed!!
Hi there, I work for seeking sitters. I have been a full time nanny, and even worked with Oklahoma foster children. Seeking sitters can be a little expensive but I really think that you get what you pay for. You will get a professional babysitter who has a current background check, CPR and first aid certification AND... you can book and pay online. What can be better than that! My suggestion is to try it out for a short day and see how you like it. Good luck!
