    Default Moving to dance, and babysitting?

    Hey ladies...I know I can't be the only mom here so I was wanting some advice. I am driving a long ways to dance because of the silly laws in my state and I am getting tired of the drive. I want to move, but I am worried about finding a reliable sitter for when I do. I was wondering if anyone else has done this, and if it turned out okay for them?

    Are you close to any of the girls you work with? You might be able to get a recommendation for reliable child care from them.

    If you dont have family or friends, Try sittercity.com and interview, do background checks, then hire best sitter/nanny with a backup. I know it's scary but you have relinquish a bit of trust - only to qualified and trustworthy people of course - so you can get ahead faster.

    Too bad we can't clone ourselves. Until then hire a trained professional.

    The ones I am close to are college aged and don't have kids. Their Gma lives in Vegas, and I've contemplated that because at least she'd be a backup. In dancing at least I feel more secure in getting a job guaranteed then other jobs...

    I've seen lots of ads for Care.com. You can search for sitters and send them messages or post your own ad and select someone who responds. I doubt anyone that is serious would object to you asking for references. If you'll be working daytime you may be able to find a care facility that matches your hours

    Could you locate and network with any cops, firemen, or ambulance workers? They're certified, and tend to be family oriented. Obviously, you'd still want to screen but you might find a fireman (or woman's) wife who babysits.

    Use Care.com its amazing before I started dancing I used to get child care jobs from there. its all reliable, back round checks references. also go to colleges and look in the early childhood education department a lot of time students are looking for side jobs and have lots of experience and schooling.
