Care.com is...

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

pretty friggin awesome and is helping a ton in the great nanny search we have going on now, but some of the profiles are seriously a joke.

To the 20 yr. olds who obviously don't get what a mommy is looking for... Why would you put a profile pic of you looking like a hooker with your cleavage hanging out making a pouty lip face??? This is not myspace and I def would not hire you to watch my son knowing my husband gets off 2 1/2 hours before I do and will be coming home to you! Attempt a professionalism = FAIL.

But we did find some great candidates on there and you can look up their background checks and get references. Awesome!

    You gotta love the lack of spelling and grammar skills too.

    We found our nanny on care.com, I would use them again in a heartbeat.

    Too bad they don't let them get those little glitter text blinky things with cherries to go on their profiles, ha!

    I know! I remember thinking the same thing.

    We eventually ended up finding the nanny we hired through Craigslist.

    We found our nanny through Care.com as well.  To me one of the funniest things was often the years of experience.  A 20 year old would list 10 years of experience with kids.  Really?? Ok--I'm not looking for when you started babysitting your little sister--I was looking for real experience.  I've kept my Care.com subscription for a few months just in case something doesn't work out with our current person.  I'm hoping to cancel it next month as long as all continues to go well.
