A few months ago, my husband was transferred to San Diego. This move was huge for us (we’re from Kentucky) and, to be honest, I was not looking forward to uprooting the whole family and moving to that crazy land of Southern California. We have been here a year and I am loving the weather and my new job but the one thing I thought would be much more difficult than it was turned out to be hiring a child babysitter! I knew no one in the area so I started my search for a babysitter as early as possible. I also conducted my search in a completely new way: I used the internet!
I found ebabysitters.com- what a great discovery! I was able to sign up free and then search all the babysitters that were in the area. Their profiles often included photos, information about their experience and childcare skills, and some references. This set-up allowed me to peruse through the many potential sitters and select a few individuals that seemed like they would work the best with my kids, call their references, and then schedule an interview with them. The system worked so well I found a child babysitter that my family loves and charges the perfect babysitter rate!
