It's hard to trust a stranger but I knew that was difficult &amp; I did my best to make it as easy as possible. I hope that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-question#post-1468834 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:35:39 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1468834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't used the site, but I've heard good things. If you're going to be in the house, I'd try getting a new person - that way, you're not leaving them totally alone the first time they meet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-question#post-1468785 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 09:23:00 +0000 californiadreams 1468785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used a similar site in Canada and have had great experiences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-question#post-1465762 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 09:54:46 +0000 MrsF 1465762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found our sitter (1 to 2 days a week while I'm working) on care.com! It's a good site but I think you have to be prepared to meet a few people and choose someone you like. Good luck with the move! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-question#post-1465744 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 09:52:38 +0000 Aimed 1465744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used sitter city which is a similar deal and it worked out great. I was looking for a regular sitter though so I did a lot of research and interviewing first.<br /> If you will be in the house with your LO but just busy packing I would just get the same person for both days for consistency. It's not necessarily a bad idea to have the sitter come for a few hours on the day before so your LO will be a it more comfortable on packing day!<br /> We moved a few months back with a LO and I remember how stressful it was! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babysitter-question#post-1465297 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 00:35:31 +0000 Myicitygirl 1465297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we are moving friday, and have packers coming thursday to pack our house. My husband will be here friday but could not take thursday off so I will be alone with our 2 yo son.<br /> I found a babysitter for friday, but not thursday. He has never had anyone other than family watch him (but all of our family is back east). Should I try to find someone (like on care.com) who can watch him both days instead of using two different people? Should i have that person watch him half a day wednesday so he gets used to her?</p> <p>Anyone have a good experience with care.com? </p>
