Sitters from Sittercity

By golly…I’m going to promote Sittercity because I really think this is a cool idea! I can’t tell you how many times we’ve bugged family and friends to babysit, just because we didn’t know anyone local that we trusted. We tried Sittercity a few weeks ago and had a great experience! Their system works as smooth as clockwork! Here is a place where you can go and type in your zip code, find a sitter that is local and one that has the qualifications you’re looking for! You can also locate dog walkers, pet sitters, senior care, housesitters, tutors and nannies! I just think this is a great idea! You get profiles on the sitters and can even get background checks so you know your child, (pet, house, etc), is in good hands! If you are ever in need of a sitter, I would encourage you to check them out. We love this business and I know you will too!

Thanks for mentioning sittercity. We’ve needed such a service for a while since kids require sitting and there are many cases when family members cannot assist.
Thanks for the link! I’m going to definitely give it a try the next time I need a petsitter! Great blog!
Thanks so much for turning me on to SitterCity. I will definitely use it. I knew there had to be something like that out there.
=totally a thought hi every1, it’s like you guys r nailed it
What a great idea, I’ve got a trip coming up and may try to find a petsitter. He hates to be boarded.
Petsitter? I’ve never heard of such a thing! Crazy!
great idea… and useful, too. Just checked for pet sitters in my hometown and came up with over 100 people…
Good find! I know a friend who always had problems finding a sitter when they need it. I’ll pass this link to them

Petsitter??? want to know more abt it.. pls..
Wow that site may turn out to be a life saver. Thanks!
This was a great idea! I just checked out sittercity and I’ll definitely use it for my pets next time. Last time I had a friend watch my rabbit and it mysteriously died. . .
Good idea! but honestly I’ve never heard petsitter before.
Petsitter?? I have never heard of that before
After having a dog growing up. I don’t want one now that I’m an adult. Thanks though!
Thats cool that you can find a babysitter on the internet, I’m not sure I would go to the internet to find someone to take care of my kid, but still its a good idea.
Hey what is this, I never haired that before.
Our experience with Sittercity has been nothing but negative. Save your money. We secured highly qualified child care from two women who posted on Craigslist. One has her masters in education and the other is a previous pre-school administrator. Both contacted us within in hours of our inquiry to them, and both provided us with resumes and references. On the otherhand, Sittercity provided us nothing. The postings were out dated, and we received only one response from the number of contacts we made. What was even more frustrating and disheartening was the lack of response, care and concern we received from Sittercity itself. The customer service (I use this term very loosely) employees were unconcerned and not at all helpful. We attempted to remedy this situation through email and phone conversation, but heard nothing through email, and was met with cold and unconcerned employees. Even though we have paid for a year’s membership, we are walking away.
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your comment. It sounds like we had different experiences with SitterCity, but I think it’s good to hear the views & experiences of others. It helps everyone make informed decisions. Thanks again
VERY cool! You can also search for doulas in your area, which is someone that every woman should consider having with her during childbirth.
