Hello,

I am in need of some suggestions/help finding a sitter. I have tried getting referrals, looked on craigslist, have joined care.com & sittercity.com, but have had no luck. Any suggestions????

    We are looking for a loving, caring, & honest sitter to watch our 8 month old baby boy - preferably in the Blue Ash/Deer Park/Reading area. The hours needed could range from 4 hours one week to 3-4 full days the next, but we'd have the schedule for the month a week or so before the month starts. We are looking for a non-smoking household, no more than 2 other children being watched, no cats, fun & energetic, clean background & driving record, & currently CPR & First Aid certified.

    Honestly, that sounds like it will be difficult to find.  Basically what you want is a SAHM with CPR/FA certification not actually a day care provider.  I would check with local churches and see if they have a list of child care providers.  I would also ask friends, relatives, and co-workers if they know of anyone who would be interested in such a position.

     

    Good Luck!

    I have a friend who does childcare in her home, but she is in Northside.  I'm not sure of her flexibility, but if you are interested, I could pass on your info to her.  Just let me know!  My email is nursegabbard@gmail.com

    I have an irregular daytime schedule, so I've been using Babysitease:

    https://www.babysitease.com/index3.php

    Basically, it's a service where you pay $8 per sit to the service for arranging the babysitter and then pay the sitter separately (for our 2 kids it's $10, it's less for one).

     We've had a great deal of luck with the sitters.  All are college-age or all and all have background checks.  We've never had a time where our sitter request wasn't filled.  And the sitters have all been really good with our girls.

    Have you looked at Kidz Watch in Montgomery?  My niece works there and they have flex schedules I think
