Finding a Babysitter Online

adamkatz on October 17, 2008

TotSpot parents (and all parents for that matter) are a busy bunch. To the extent we can, we are going try and highlight decent articles from around the web that might be useful and save some time. To wit:

Mashable’s Mark Dykeman does a pretty good job reviewing sites that help parents find a babysitter online.

Included in his list are dedicated offerings:

NannyFlower, CanadianSitter.ca (Canada-only), Babysitters.com, and Sittercity

and standard posting boards:

Kijiji, Craigslist

Not to quibble too much, but there were a few sites Mark missed:

Care.com (we’re friendly with some people there), Babysitters4hire.com (Dr. Phil-endorsed), and 4Sitters.com

Hi there and thanks for linking to my online babysitting sites article. There’s no question that there were probably dozens of sites that I didn’t mention in the article. I didn’t intend to say it was a comprehensive overview; rather, I was just trying to introduce the concept of looking for an online babysitter to the Mashable.com audience.

Thanks!

I just wanted to share this site, http://www.thecaringspace.com

It’s not a site to find babysitters, but it’s a great resource for families looking for assistance and health services for a loved one (particularly for senior citizens).

Families seeking caregivers can register for free right now. They get unlimited access to an entire network of caregivers, optional promotion of their position to interested caregivers, free conference call service, as well as helpful resources and downloads.

The site’s online caregiving community is rapidly expanding so it’s really a good place if you’re looking for elder care help. Good luck!

Something to say?
