Has anyone used care.com??

Question

I'm about to hire a sitter from care.com. little nervous.

Have you tried it, good or bad experiences?

Answer

I was hired by my nanny family through that site. They're happy with me, and I do a good job. In fact the husband/daddy met my husband he told him about "how lucky they were to have me" and about how well I've been helping them with their boy.

It's all about doing background checks and giving some newbies a chance. The first nanny family I was hired by did not give me long to adjust to their family for firing me. Burry it's also whatever is best for the family of course, so I understood I just may have not been the best fit for them.

Make sure you have someone with CPR AND first aide training. The little guy I nanny almost choked on some granola the other day and thanks to my training I was able to dislodge it.

Answer

I'm on that site. I've heard from other moms it's a hit or miss. Meet them in person first. Trust your gut.

Answer

I was on that site when I was younger looking for babysitting/nanny jobs. I found a lot of very nice families that I really enjoyed working with and even nannied for twin 6 month old boys for awhile, I loved it. Just make sure to interview multiple before deciding on one because you might find one you like more than the other. And the lady who I worked with she stayed around the first couple of times I was there just to make sure she liked me and trusted me with the boys, which I liked because I got to learn specifically how she likes things done. I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Answer

Please do some more research. A few months ago I read a new report about a sitter who was hired via care.com. Come to find out he was sexual assaulting children and had a prio record before even being hired by care.com

Answer

I've had nothing but duds with the sitters I've hired from care.com. I live 2,500 miles from our family and connections so unfortunately I have to rely on things like this for childcare. 
I've heard really great things about Wondersitter.com--good luck!
