Craig's List

While working on the blogroll and resource links, I had to add Craig's List, because Moms-in-the-Know know that it's the best place to find a babysitter. My pal Mary clued me in after my baby was born, when I, the former-stay-at-home-mom asked myself, is four weeks too early to hire a babysitter? The answer is no, and Craig's List is the place to find someone to fit exactly the hours you want, whether it's full time, or as in my case, a few odd hours strewn over the week. If the no-frills site is hard to follow, just go to Craigs List, click your city or town, click on community, then childcare. Follow the directions to post, and because posts scroll down, if you don't find someone in a few days, post something new. That's what I did. I realized I hadn't posted exactly the hours I needed. Once I fixed it, the babysitting goddess brought me the fabulous young woman who is now baby Amelia's babysitter. And the deity this working-at-home mom most worships is indeed, the babysitting goddess.
