[quote=Anonymous]If you're interested in getting babysitting jobs I think setting up a care.com account is probably the best way to go, although I think there is an associated fee. As a toddler mom we get all our sitters word of mouth from other families, so once you get one or two clients they may pass on your info to others (assuming you are reliable, etc). That said, there's no way that I'd be okay with a sitter bringing along their older child for a number of reasons and if you do find families okay with this you should expect to offer a significant discount from the standard 15-20/hr rate. Also, while I'm fine with sitters watching tv/reading/playing on an iPad after our kid goes to bed, I would be somewhat turned off by a sitter bringing a laptop over (with the implied expectation of focusing more on their own priorities than the child) so you might want to consider something more discreet.[/quote]
