• 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). I've talked to other nannies with more experience who make up to $5 less than me. Look at... Source: 5 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: 5 months ago

• Sanders introduces bill to raise minimum teacher pay to $60,000 a year

  What is that average cost of day care per child? The average in the USA per hour, according to urbansitter.com, is $18.36 for one child, and 21.23 for two children. What if you had 26 children I day care? 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.

• What should I expect to pay for a babysitter?

  I am a new parent and I have not yet had a babysitter (baby is 6mo old) but I was looking at urbansitter.com and it looks like around $100/year for the site membership fee and around $30/hr for a local babysitter. Source: over 1 year ago

  Find nanny's at the park, use care.com or urbansitter.com they do background checks, you can interview them and do a meet and greet and get recs. Source: about 2 years ago

• How much money would you give up to quit your job and be SAHM?

  We tried care.com, urbansitter.com, a nanny agency, the doula network, a local facebook group, and word of mouth. We interviewed a bunch. The number one issue was that we were not willing to pay them under the table but needed part time help. We were willing to pay extra, but nannies didn't even know how much extra to charge, they just didn't want the work. Source: about 2 years ago
