How did you find a reliable sitter, nanny, part-time nanny?
Your experiences in DC would be very helpful |

| I've only had sitterss, never a nanny. I either go through recs from friends, hire the people that work at my son's daycare/after school program/summer camp, because they've already been vetted and he knows them, or I use college students that I know (I work on campus). |

| I've used high school kids who I found through the local listserve. |

Are you in a neighborhood that has block parties?
Our block has an annual party, and a huge benefit of this is that the moms of young kids get to meet the moms of high school kids. After ours (this last weekend), I now have 3 more potential sitters, in addition to the one that lives next door to us. (that we currently use.) I've also asked friends to recommend people. |

Go away, shut up, sit down, insert whatever you need to hear to disappear then DO IT. |

| Married people probably need sitters too. This isn't just a "single ladies" problem! (for the sad troll poster) |

Ladies are gracious. Clearly you are no lady. |
