Blog like this for NYC?

[Anonymous]

Hi, my family and I are moving to NYC from DC and I am wondering if anyone knows of a website like this that applies to that city. I would prefer it to include a nannies forum!

Thanks,

Erin

The only one I know of is Urbanbaby, but it is not exactly the same.

I'm moving from NYC to DC this week! The only blog I know like this one is Urban Baby. Anonymous, really catty, etc. However, unlike DCUM, you won't find much useful information on UB. Like DC, most neighborhoods have their own Yahoo group, and that's where you will find helpful info about nannies, playgroups, doctors, etc. Park Slope Parents is the most notorious and the most active (and often the most annoying and smug--I live there and subscribe, but it drives me crazy). You have to live in or near PS to be a member, but their website has other useful info and may even provide links to other parenting blogs--www.parkslopeparents.com. They also post the results of their annual nanny survey, which tells you what people are paying, how many vacation days is standard, etc. Very useful. You can also try Baby Bites (I think it's www.babybites.com) for nanny postings. We posted an ad for our nanny on both PSP Classifieds and BB, and she found a job on BB.

Good luck with your move!

Not exactly the same but www.youbemom.com has a heavy NY population
It was created by people unhappy with the way urbanbaby was going
