• 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: 5 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).

• 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.

• Vacation stay

  I would recommend double checking hostels. Most have private rooms. My partner and I have stayed in tons of hostels during our 20s/early 30s and it is definitely a great option financially. Otherwise something like trustedhousesitters.com might be worth looking into. Source: about 1 year ago

• Feel shook after this cat sitter interaction, feel like I’m going crazy. What would you do?

  Not sure if it would work for you: there's an matching service called trustedhousesitters.com. The sitter lives in your home and takes care of your pets. No money changes hands. They trade staying in your house for their services. Honestly, though, it helps a lot if your house is somewhere people would like to visit. You may want to check it out. Source: about 1 year ago

• any budget nomads?

  Trustedhousesitters.com - pet sitting. "Free" accommodation, however there's a learning curve with getting pet sits at all, and then lining them up back to back. This one is a bunch of effort, but worth it if you're on a low budget. Source: about 1 year ago
