We've used it and had good luck with it, too. I found two great sitters through the site. It's really easy to post the job, and then you can interview all the people that respond. We've been quite pleased!
i joined the site, but never ended up finding a sitter in my area. we lived on the outskirts of a major city, kinda too far for anyone willing to drive out. but i did have some people apply, i just never got to meet any of them before we moved out of that neighborhood.
i would just let you know that even though some of the sitters on the site have had background checks, you have to pay an additional fee to run one of your own and view it.

Re: sittercity.com give me the good the bad and the ulgy.
I use it and love love love it. I found the worlds best sitter there for my girls. I think I shed a tear when she moved back to MI with her family : (
Honestly I don't have much bad to say about the site, it's really great.
