• Let MB know I know about new nanny ???? 😩

  I found it on care.com. Im waiting for her to say what she has to say Wednesday to make my next move because agencies obv want references. Source: 4 months ago

• Care.com struggles

  Just like most online narrative reviews people would rarely have reason to come here and post "I love care.com I just found a nanny!" it's a pointless post, people only tend to post to complain or get help with an issue. Care.com is more popular than ever and in most markets it's far and away the most popular app outside of Facebook and its various groups. I like the site but can still acknowledge its gotten worse...

• Asking for industry standards led to me quitting

  I'm glad you stood up for yourself, in this situation, but a word of caution that much like how the care.com calculator skews low, that one skews a bit high and can fluctuate. I just looked it up and for my area I am making what it suggests...for twins. I have the highest rate I know of (mind you, only after generous raises). I've talked to other nannies with more experience who make up to $5 less than me. Look at... Source: 4 months ago

• What to do when parents sell their house.

  Absolutely don't go into any home that's not government funded. If you have extra cash, pay it to hire someone through, e.g., care.com to visit your Dad in the home and provide extra assistance. Much cheaper to pay for some extra support in a publicly funded facility than to go into a 100% privately-funded one. Source: 4 months ago

• Best jobs for 50/50?

  Sittercity.com is the other one, they're pretty similar and the folks on there rotate between the two. Source: 11 months ago

• Babysitter Wanted

  I'm looking for a babysitter/nanny during the weekday and am having trouble finding someone. Is there anywhere that people would recommend looking for one besides care.com or sittercity.com? If anyone has used care.com or sittercity.com, how were your experiences? Source: about 1 year ago

• Resorts with childcare

  Most resorts with drop-off/group childcare have an age minimum of 3+. Some might have recommended babysitters. You could also use a service like care.com or sittercity.com to find a local sitter to watch LO in your hotel room. Source: about 1 year ago

• How young did you leave your child with a sitter?

  There are tons of childcare websites and most of them require background checks. I always used care.com sittercity.com urbansitter.com Just make sure you call references and do a trial run with them! Also a perk if they are CPR certified but there are tons of resources out there.

• DMV Nanny Search.

  As a part-time nanny who works in DC, I've found most of my jobs on Care.com and sittercity.com. White House Nannies is the major nanny agency here, but I feel like most nannies who sign up for it are looking for full time work. I'd just make sure to include you want to use a payroll in your job listing so applicants know what to expect. Source: about 1 year ago
