  I worry about high school kids because a putting a crazed toddler to bed and dealing with an evening-fussy baby seems like a lot of work for one high schooler, even if they've babysat before.  We had a girl from church come before when O was already asleep, and even she brought her Mom with her.  I wish I could get them again but I think Mom works during the day.... This trip is such an annoyance to me, it totally ruins my whole damn week.  X(

  Hmmm, two teens might work; I'll have to have DH email some people and see who might be OK to do that.

  I asked around at our DC and found a sitter. It was nice since LO already knew the sitter and was comfortable with her. I agree that the church would be  a good place to ask. They may be able to recommend someone that they use/trust. I used care.com to find a nanny/sitter for LO when I first went back to work part time. I interviewed 3 people and found one I liked. She did great and I never had any issues with her. I will say that with care.com interviewing is key. The one lady I thought I would like since she looked  good on paper was the one I liked the least.

  I found the nanny for Veronica on care.com and she was wonderful! Make sure you check references and do the interview.
