I am an AU alum and I know I had some friends who used that service (or whatever it was called then) but it was well before the days of UrbanSitter, sitter city, etc. I feel like that’s what most kids these days are using. I live in a different part of town than you and have had no issues finding college student babysitters at UMD, CUA, etc. but those services are like $20/month so I guess there’s no risk in paying the $7 for this one

I work for a different local university and many of us are using Quad Jobs for alternative job postings that are not specifically related to the student's careers.

A few years ago many local schools contracted a new job board platform to a system that is more conducive the career trajectory of students and alumni and it didn't leave a space of "odd jobs" like the old system.

Yes, I've done it and it was worth it.

I've used them. Quad Jobs seems to be what AU outsources this service to. It was something like $7 so I did it. Found some nice AU students. I'd say it's worthwhile.

Having to pay to post for jobs seems like a bad move by AU. I want a Spanish tutor but don’t want to pay for what I can do for free on neighborhood listserves. And if it makes potential employers reluctant, then AU students lose out.

Bad move, AU. It can’t be a real revenue-generator, so why do they put this hurdle up?

Has anyone used "Quad Jobs" to find an AU student to work as an occasional babysitter? It appears you need to pay to post, so I'm looking for feedback whether this would be worthwhile. I'm striking out when it comes to finding a babysitter for a toddler and infant. High schoolers seem to want older kids. Nannies don't want to schlep up to CC-DC.
