Use your social network and this great app to help you find your next sitter! UrbanSitter is an online marketplace where parents go to find occasional, part-time or full-time babysitters quickly and efficiently. Powered by your own parenting networks, UrbanSitter helps you find babysitters hired and personally recommended by your friends and parents from your child’s school, local YMCA, mother’s group, etc.
Here’s how UrbanSitter Works: Once you create a free account, search for babysitters by the specific date and time you need them–or post a job and let sitters find you. Sort through candidates using nifty filters for background check, hourly rate, experience, languages spoken, response time, and more. And, if a babysitter has a connection to someone in your parenting network, they will be highlighted at the top of the list and you can read reviews from the parent you know.
One quality we really love is that sitters keep their schedules online, so you can book a job or interview online instantly–at the click of a button. No more wasting time reaching out to sitters, asking a ton of questions and then finding out they’re not actually available when you need them!
UrbanSitter hosts Babysitter Meet & Greets all over Brooklyn. Get a chance to interview fabulous sitters on the spot and book them online anytime. The next event is on:
November 6th, 2014 at Bija Kids on 900 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill from 6:30-8pm. The event is FREE but they ask that you RSVP.
