Recommendation for Babysitters

[LuvRM]

Can anyone personally recommend any nice girls here in RM for babysitting? I am looking for the occasional sitter for my three year old daughter...

I found three good ways to get sitters -

1) Friend referral
2) Start training an 11 year old you love as a Mother's Helper
3) Troll the RM Summer Rec program for the counselors and kid volunteers

Another favorite option is working out a regular "swap" with another family.


Sorry I can't recommend someone specifically. I have a fabulous boy babysitter and a young lady I import from a ways away.

Good luck!

Hi there,
We are also looking for an occasional babysitter. Maybe we could get to know each other and swap childcare. We would like to go out on a date once in a while for a few hours (probably just in RM) . Send me a PM if you are interested. Hope to hear from you!

Wilbur, that was last Wed. and I went to it, a really great group of ladies, yes, i was the oldest one there but they liked grandmas too. anyway the ladies name is Charlotte, phone is 1589, or Michelle 1644. If anyone is interested please call them, they have their children and yours in the best of interest... Ask for their letter about the club... and it isn't just stay at home moms, it's working moms as well. worth a call.

I know a 12yr old boy that went thru the recent babysitter course. He's currently volunteering at Summer Rec, and I think he'd make a good "mother's helper" to kind of get his feet wet for an actual babysitting gig. He's currently booking up his calendar with pet-sitting and plant watering for folks going away, and he's scheduled to attend the aviators camp beginning 7/28, but if you're interested, let me know.

(it's my son, so I'm, a bit biased!)

Can't say enough good things about those 10,11,12 yo Mother's Helpers.
Baseball practice, soccer drills, lego sorting, making a club house, board games and good role models. PM me Martha!
