Sitter City

This is a blog for all my fellow military moms out there.....

One of the things I hate about being in the military is trying to find babysitters. You either don't know anyone because you just moved or your friends have kids of their own and you don't want to impose, etc. Awhile ago when we first moved to Monterey I looked into a few babysitting web sites. Sitter City was one of those sites. This site gives you lists of local people who are baby sitters. They can be moms, college students, the kid from down the block. They make a profile and have references, prices, experience, if they have had a background check or CPR training...the whole she-bang! The crappy thing was there was this ridiculous membership fee that just didn't seem worth it! I just found out that Sitter City is now providing free membership for military members. Yeah! Very cool! Even if you don't use it, it could be good for those last minute things that come up. They even have house sitters and pet care too. We're far away from family and you never know. I just wanted to share the military perk!!! :-)
