And I thought mlylt might have fewer excuses for not finding a sitter if it was easier to find good candidates.
My wife is listed on care.com. She'll get a message from a prospective client, then go to an interview. Sometimes they'll choose her, sometimes they'll go with someone else. It's pretty simple, but it takes a little forethought and planning on the part of the parents.
Seems like the best solution would be to set up several interviews, find a few people who she is comfortable with, and then see who's available when she has a need for care. But what do I know - I mean, have I even ever been a single parent?
