She has a few friends she recommended to us as sitters when she goes back to school next month. So sad to be losing her! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-find-your-babysitter#post-1769873 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 10:41:04 +0000 Ra 1769873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I was going to suggest the same thing. If you email the education department at your local university there are always students looking to earn extra money. In order to do their field experience, they will have had to have been fingerprinted with a background check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-find-your-babysitter#post-1769832 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 09:38:45 +0000 MrsH 1769832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I did - so many people wanted to do it I actually had to tell several people no. She provided references but I did not call them. She is my brother's friend's wife so I've met her in passing. She had graduated with a bachelors recently and couldn't find a job and is BLS certified. She starts Tuesday and came over last week to meet E. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-find-your-babysitter#post-1769827 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 09:34:06 +0000 MamaBehr 1769827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: oooo!

I'm kinda excited :) and it'll be nice to not worry about diapers for 5 hours a week</p> <p>@MrsH: did you go with someone from Facebook? Did you ask for references? Gosh it's scary trusting someone with my kids! </p> <p>@travellingbee: thanks!

It isn't enough money or time to warrant daycare, so I just need a sitter. We have no family here, so we need to find a sitter. But where? All I can think of is care.com. Has anyone had success else where? </p>
