[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true that it is not easy to find someone to do part-time after-school care -- but it is definitely NOT impossible. We've done it several times and in the last round, had 4-5 really strong candidates to choose from. Care.com has been super helpful in this process, because in the job posting you can be very specific about the hours you need so that sitters can opt out if they're not up for what you're offering.

I do agree that the rates tend to be higher for these part-time gigs -- we are having to pay $25/hour, which I NEVER expected to have to pay for one kid, but that seems to be what the market will bear. [/quote]

Here is the issue I found with afterschool sitters - you get lots of applicants but no one stays.  We went thru four babysitters in a year and a half, paying $25 an hour.  Finally we hired a full time nanny when I had a second baby.  [/quote]

Huh, interesting -- that's no fun. That hasn't been our experience at all, though -- we've been able to keep sitters for a whole school year. Maybe that's just luck of the draw on our part...[/quote]
