[quote=Anonymous]How common is it to hire a babysitter through an ad?? I can count on one hand the number of times we have used a sitter (emergencies) and in all cases it was a close friend. Could not care less their education level, only consideration is that my child felt comfortable with the person and the person was competent to watch a child. DH works in academia and we have been around enough over-educated people and flaky college students to know that a bunch of letters after your name or enrollment in a selective school is no guarantee you can do basic childcare tasks or exercise good judgment regarding kids. The weirdos I have met through DH's work... yeesh! I have stories for days about his colleagues hiring clueless grad students to watch their kids and the ensuing disasters.[/quote]
